The Challenge | Fly-by-Wireless

Beginning with the design or concept of a current aircraft or spacecraft, your challenge is to engineer the design of the first aircraft or spacecraft with no wires, connectors, or penetrations! You may choose to add functions that the original vehicle does not have. Be sure to identify future aerospace applications as specifically as possible.

Smart Skin

Eliminate wiring by implementing energy wireless, matrix connect and data transfer.

3 Fly Upgrade

In a commercial aircraft there are more than 100,000 cables, which total up to a length of 470 km and weigh up to 5,700 kg

We will implement wireless energy by means of coils in the passenger area, based on the studies that Tesla left and on the technology that Witricity has developed, so that passengers can charge all their electronic devices without the need for any cables; This will serve to eliminate the wiring used by the screens in the passenger seats, aircraft lights, common use devices such as refrigerators, microwaves, etc.

The connection matrix consists of a formation of matrix-shaped cables located on the floor and the walls of the fuselage providing flexibility when it comes to locating mechanical devices since it has in each interception, reusable connections for any device that subsequently configures its path of electrons based on graph theory to reduce the use of wiring for a single device.

Data Transfer, consists in the use of micro-controllers used as transmitters and receivers embedded in the mechanical devices and in the control panel to receive the status of the devices, data of the implanted sensors and in turn send commands to them for remote operability by A private network installed on the plane.
