RESCUE DELIVERY SYSTEM
 Prologue
 To strengthen students creative
minds, a project to build “rescue
delivery system” is given.
 In this challenge, each group must
design, construct and operate, a
rescue delivery system which can be Emergency area
launched rapidly, glide for a
certain distance, and deliver
payload safely at a targeted area.
 Keep in mind that delivering payload
safely at the target area requires a
predictable gliding behavior, smooth
landing and that the system maintain
structural integrity.
Rescue via air delivery

Rescue Delivery System
 Team:
 Each team consists of 6 (six) students (must be mixed between FTMD
& SITHR and must be mixed gender).

 Rescue Delivery System is composed of an Aerial Vehicle and a

Launcher

 Best System criteria :

 The best system is the lightest aerial vehicle able to consistently deliver
intact payload at the target area, without any damage to the aerial
vehicle. The system has to be designed and built by the team.

Rescue Delivery System
 Aerial Vehicle:
 Aerial vehicle shall has a means to accommodate and carry payload.
 Aerial vehicle shall has the capability to glide and land/deliver payload.
 The wing span (distance between two wing tips) of Aerial vehicle shall not be less
than 200 mm and not be more than 600 mm.
 Aerial vehicle shall be initially propelled by launcher, and does not incorporated any
propulsion system.
 Use of Styrofoam/Hard foam is not allowed.
 Launcher:
 Launcher shall be rubber band powered and shall has track to guide launch direction.
 Number of rubber band used shall be 6 or less. Rubber band type is typical No. 14 to 16
(Length 50-60 mm, Width 1-2 mm, Thickness: 1-2 mm)
 Maximum length of launcher shall be 500 mm. Stretched rubber band shall be within
launcher length.
 Payload:
 The payload is two pieces of blackboard chalk typically used in class room weighing around
10 grams.
 Payload may be wrapped by any materials without gluing/sticking directly to the payload
itself.

Mission Arena
 Mission Area:
1) The aerial vehicle must deliver the payload on the
targeted area (A) of a circle having 2 m in diameter.
2) A buffer area (B) extend 1 m from the target area.
3) The center of target area is located 8 meters from the
launch area (C). Height of launch area is 75cm from
ground.
4) Before launch, any part of the launcher or aerial vehicle
should be behind the start line (D).

Scoring and Testing Procedure
 Scoring (per launch):
 Mission completion include: delivery in target area (max 20), structural integrity (max 10),
payload condition (max 10)
 Payload delivery spot
 inside the target area: 20 (touch down until stop is inside the target area) (reference identification
point is the payload location)
 inside the buffer area: 15 (touch down or stop is inside the buffer area) (reference identification
point is the payload location)
 Outside target area: 5
 Payload condition
 Each intact chalk: 5
 Structural integrity
 Perfect integrity: 10
 Damaged: 5
 Final score : total sum of each launch score

 Testing Procedure
 Each team has to fly three missions within 9 minutes
 Only three team member are allowed to enter the arena, each is responsible for launcher,
system recovery and support/documentation
 Class assistant will weigh the aerial system three times and take the average
 For each mission, landing spot will be noted; payload and vehicle condition will be checked
 Launcher has to be placed on launch area

 Lift -> Aerodynamic Force perpendicular to the airspeed

due to pressure difference
 generated by Lifting Surface
 different shape produce different force (and moment)

 Drag -> Aerodynamic Force parallel to airspeed in

opposite direction

Wing : generate Lift (large surface)

Tailplane : provide stability (smaller surface)
Fuselage : integrate wing and tailplane, plus contain payload (rigid)
Flight quality : Determined by aircraft shape, size and c.g. location

Some questions…..
 What might be the shape and size of aerial vehicle ?
 How to construct a strong and light-weight aerial
vehicle ?
 How to accommodate and protect payload ?
 At what speed and angle the aerial vehicle should be
launched ?
 How to make sure the aerial vehicle follow the
desired gliding path ?
 Can it be improved ?
