Existing similar projects and products Our project is to get a unique set of force and torques measurements of an aircraft, and from our research we have not come across products or projects that does we have come across products exactly what we’re pursuing, however or projects that does a particular part of pursuing. For instance, one of what we’re the goals of our project is to measure the discrete distribution of pressure over an aircraft, so that we may have real-time measurements of forces, torques and pressures. We are planning to use relatively low cost piezoelectric sensors placed at discrete locations over the surfaces of the aircraft. There are some wind tunnel experiments that aim measuring pressure distributions, and a common and novel method employs a small-scale model of an actual airplane like we do, coated in pressure sensitive paint (PSP). They generate a continuous pressure distribution over the entire surface by aircraft’s coating the entire and utilize the principle of molecular plane’s surface, luminescence by emitting for example ultraviolet light on the plane and measuring how much red light is emitted. We do not however have the budget to purchase pressure paint, the optical equipment and software, and a wind tunnel and all the other equipment to utilize this method of measuring pressure distribution. Besides, we want get the pressure distribution in actual flight and during various maneuvers, where the plane experiences up- and down-drafts or air, and air of various moisture levels, temperature, altitudes, and densities.
