Simple Update

     With the completion of the Full-Scale Model and the Lifting Gantry we can now move on to our own design project. Moving forward we will be finalizing our own model design with our main focus being to minimize drag while maximizing interior comfort. We will be running more aerodynamics test on both our own model, as well as the Swedish team's model. To go with this we will begin working on an interior design model for the cabin. In conjunction with this we will continue evaluating station securing mechanisms, and decide with which method is best. Then a design for the mechanism can be started. We are pushing into the final stages of the design portion, and should be well prepared for the next building portions.
     Future decisions to be made will involve material choices and how we plan to create our cabin for the 1/4th scale.
