The Drafting Class did their annual BIG DROP on Jan. 25th.
Drafting 1, 2, 3 Mr. Visel
Scenario:
The United States Army has been covertly supporting a group of freedom fighters in a small South America country by supplying them with ...arms and medical supplies. These supplies were usually delivered to the freedom fighters via top-secret airdrops. These airdrops usually take place at night during a high speed and low altitude operation, known as Operation Big Dump. The army recently discovered a problem with their method of delivery. Upon impact, a large number of the supplies were breaking due to the high speed of impact at which the supplies impacted the ground. They also discovered a problem with the supplies landing upside down. The army needs to develop a working model that illustrates directional control and an impact absorption system for the delivery. The Army needs these problems fixed as soon as possible, before the freedom fighters run out of supplies. Knowing that you are the top design team within the department, the Army has come to you for a solution.
Objectives:
- At the conclusion of this activity, your team will demonstrate the understanding of a design process by submitting your
4 sketches, a detailed drawing, a written description, an evaluation page, working model, and Grade Sheet
- To provide damage protection for the cargo when tested and stay within the constraints of the Army budget for supplies.
Materials:
- Materials not accepted – cardboard, wood, sponges, bubble wrap, water, sawdust, Styrofoam, popcorn packaging, parachutes or very large amounts of something (like a cupful). (***no more than 4 pieces/parts of any item***) All materials need to be preapproved.
