Capstone: Resistance → Powering → Propeller → Stability Check

Inside this lesson
  • Run the capstone design chain: resistance -> effective power -> delivered power/propeller -> stability
  • Compute effective power PE = RT x V and delivered power PD = PE / etaD
  • Compute the metacentric height GM = KM - KG and interpret a positive value as an indicator of initial stability
  • Explain why the design chain is a coupled loop rather than a one-way pipeline
