Anybody else here for an assignment/homework ??? 🤔🤔🤔
Me 😂
Me bruh---
Me lmao
ME!😐

Watching this in person at 5 yrs old provided me lifelong inspiration.
I was there, too! I was 7. Amazing to have gotten to witness this bit of history.
@@lilithe69 ⚠️ God has said in the Quran:
🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 )
🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 )
🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 )
🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 )
🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )
⚠️ Quran
I watched the progress of this team during my early college years with great interest because I was (am) both a cyclist and model aircraft enthusiast.
YES! Thanks. To open source I was never so grateful like now! Thousands of thanks for the video from Romania.
much better than the $50,000 prize, i cant imagine a bigger achievement than being showcased next to the wright brothers' plane and the Apollo 11 moon capsule
The prize was 50,000 British pounds not US dollars. The British pound was (I think) close to twice the value of a US dollar at that time. So the prize was closer to $100,000.
I just did the math, 50,000 pounds in 1977 is equal to around 350,000 uusd. That seems pretty worth it to me.
The same team later flew a human powered plane across the English Channel.
There is a documentary about that on YT as well.
Search Gossamer Albatross.
The back up plane (Gossamer Albatross II) is in a museum in Seattle.
I don't know what happened to the actual one that crossed the channel.
I remember getting up at 3:00 A.M or so to make the 3 hour drive out to Shafter to watch it fly when I was a teen.
It feels like a real honour watching this older documentary, on how history was made. I used to read a lot about these efforts at modern man-powered and solar-powered aircraft when I was a child, and it's something that's stuck with me ever since. (When I first read about these efforts, it was barely twenty years since they became a huge success.) Thank you for sharing the film. :-)
For turning, they basically rediscovered wing-warping, something used already in the early days of aviation. ;-)
amazing plane!
fabulous film :-) its ironic that the soultion to the control problem was wing warping- just like the Wright brothers used!!
The way a hang glider works includes the "sail" shifting and billowing more on the side to which the pilot has shifted his weight. Weight shift and the resulting "wing warping" cause a hang glider to turn. Dr. MacCready was very familiar with hang gliders. So he may have gotten his idea from both the Wrights wing warping and a hang glider's sail shifting.
With a slide rule and a legal pad the genius engineers of the past did a lot.
Let me guess, you thought the answers were in the comments didn't you?
online learning sucks...
I wish
Too bad this film is faded but it probalby isn't so far gone that it can't be restored.
Who at fairchild?

STOP PEDALING, STOP PEDALING! TURN LEFT! at 19:20 lol
Matthew Sendecki my guess is that they wanted to eliminate the torque from the propeller in an attempt to straighten the plane out.
@@trackie1957 however, the propellor is rotating clockwise, meaning the torque would bank the aircraft to the left, but the problem was that it was banking to the right, so I mean you may be right but I'm not sure.
Sorry to bother you.But will it be permitted to share this movie to the site bilibili.com?It's not for commercial use,and I will make it clear where the movie is from.Hope you can reply.
Yes, thank you for asking. Please give us credit
By credit, I just mean say it came from the SDASM TH-cam Channel
Well....I really speak poor English... Forgive me,please.
Thank you very much for your kindness.I'm sorry for bothering you with the previous words.And I'm getting down to uploading the video.
who else is in capstone?

Technical Problem Solving class...
Was the designer’s intention to design build and test an idea
I think the idea was to win the Kremer Prize. Dr MacCready had the knowledge and motivation to do it. Lots of hard work too.
Who was responsible for the design of the gossamer condor
Paul MacCready
@@mattcolver1, With help from others. Oh, and I'm wondering are you related to Frank Colver - father maybe?
S C Yz Yes, He’s my father.
@@mattcolver1, Hi Matt. Your Father is a member of the US Hawks, as I am. I've never heard him tell the story about being there when the Gossamer Condor flew. What an historic event to witness! But I was lucky to have a conversation with Dr. MacCready after a presentation he gave in Elmira, NY some time in the 90s as best I recall.
Awww the answers aren't here 😭
I need em
R i v e r s i d e- - -
Mr sonnier anyone?
Right here, buddy
Mr. Sonnier, I love you.
OwO

You know what the designer of this later wound up developing?
Drones.
From human powered flight to extrajudicial executions via remote control in less than 40 years.

Activity 1.5 Gossamer Condor Design Brief
1. Who was responsible for the design of the Gossamer Condor? Write your answer
on the line next to the word “Designer” in the design brief.
a. Paul MacCready
2. What was the problem that the designer and his team were trying to solve? Be
advised, the problem was not to design an aircraft. The design of an aircraft was
part of the solution to the problem. Write your answer as a complete sentence(s)
on the lines next to the words “Problem Statement” in the design brief.
a. No human-powered aircraft has ever been
developed that could truly fly or win the Kremer
Prize.
3. To what degree was the solution to be realized? Was the designer’s intention to
merely sketch an idea and be done? Was the intention to come up with an idea,
build it, and stop there? Or, was it the designer’s intention to design, build, and
test an idea?
a. Design, build, and test a controlled, sustainable
human-powered aircraft that meets the criteria set
forth by the Royal Aeronautical Society for the
Kremer prize.
4. What expectation(s) did the design have to meet before it would be considered a
successful solution to the problem? In other words, what did the solution have to
do? Combine your answer with the answer from question three, and write it as a
complete sentence(s) on the lines next to the words “Design Statement” in the
design brief.
a. 1. Maximum 1/3 horsepower human engine output
2. Unassisted take-off
3. Able to ascend to a height of at least 10 feet
4. Must fly a continuous distance of at least one
mile around two pylons placed ½ mile apart
5. Capable of making complete left and right turns
6. After a full mile-long flight, must ascend again to
a height of at least 10 feet
Conclusion Qs
1. Aside from being the first to solve the problem, what was the major motivating
factor for the designer of the Gossamer Condor?
a. The winner of the Kremer prize was awarded 50,000 £ (approximately
$100,000).
2. Where did the idea for the Gossamer Condor come from, and what did it have to
do with the power output of a bicyclist?
a. MacCready was daydreaming about hang gliding. He knew that a hang glider
required 1 horsepower to function. So, MacCready rationalized that by tripling
the dimensions of the wing and keeping the overall weight the same, the
resulting aircraft would require only 1/3 horsepower. 1/3 horsepower is
approximately the maximum output of a bicyclist pedaling at full speed.
3. What was the major natural element that caused the most problems to the
Gossamer Condor?
a. Wind was the major natural element that caused the most problems.
4. What were three major differences between the first generation design and the
final generation design of the Gossamer Condor?
a. The final generation Gossamer Condor had swept back wings, the wings
undersides were covered with mylar, and there was an enclosed space for the
pilot. All of these changes increased the airplane’s performance.
5. How long did it take the design team to accomplish their goal? Was this the
amount of time that the design team expected?
a. The design team thought they would have the problem solved in a matter of a
few months. However, to solve the problem and win the Kremer prize took
approximately one year.
TYSM I GOT 2 OTHER PROJECTS IN DDP AND THIS SAVED SO MUCH TIME.
