Project Scope The scope of this project is to complete
research that will lead to the design and construction of an autonomous hovercraft. The hovercraft will have the ability to maneuver a path that will contain multiple obstacles. This hovercraft can then be used to find an object or give video surveillance and return to its initial launch point.

Variable Effect Design Considerations
Mass: MFaster response more damping for smaller
valuesLightweight
Moment of Inertia: I
Faster response for smaller values, damping
effect negligible
Mass located to reduce moment of inertia
Yaw Damping: J
Response speed decreases with increasing
values. Damping only signification for J = 0.
Low yaw damping desirable
Dart Effect: K
Unstable for negative values, slower response
for increasing values, negligible damping
Balance mass as well as possible, front heavy is unstable, back heavy is
stable but reduces response time
Prop Torque: Y
Poor damping at low values, negligible
response speed until a critical value where
response speed decreases
Ensure sufficient torque available for fast
response, control system design to compensate for
poorer damping
Friction: Z Faster response, more damping at higher values High friction desirable
