The Vertical Flight Society (VFS) held its inaugural Design-Build-Vertical Flight (DBVF) student competition. VFS tasked teams with designing, manufacturing, and flight testing an urban air mobility (UAM) aircraft with a maximum weight of 20 lbs and the largest dimension of 6.5 ft. This project covers the design, analysis, manufacturing, and testing of the OSU DBVF team’s aircraft. Through analysis of the competition and considerations from previous years' teams, the OSU team preliminary vehicle has converged to a compound-type helicopter for efficient high-speed flight and best-predicted score in all competition courses. The team's design has a main rotor and an embedded tail rotor that will enable hovering flight while the main rotor coupled with small fixed-wings will provide lift for cruise flight. Forward thrust and counter rotor-torque will be provided by a twin-propellers assembly on the wings. The ECE and CS system was built around the Pixhawk 4 flight controller, with sensors, telemetry and remote control. A technical analysis helped improve the design with regard to weight and performance. The most notable accomplishment of the team is that the first report won second place, while we did not place top 3 in the final report and presentation the team won the most creative aircraft in the competition. Time and the flight controller were the main issues for the ECE and CS sub teams. For future iterations of this project, ECE and CS solely focusing on making a custom flight controller and power management board for the aircraft system instead of competing in the competition would alleviate time pressures from the competition and make the focus solely on a flight system. Then the system can be implemented with machined parts and tested like in the competition.
