Project Details

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.

Painting the flight

Our project consisted of finding solutions for reducing the number of wires in an aircraft. After studying the case, we came to the conclusion that conductive silver paint is the most environmentally and conductively viable option. We have devised a concept for replacing the low power wires of an airplane with conductive paint trails to reduce the weight of the airplane.

Features we use: 3D printer, enamel, graphite powder, LEDs, RF communication modules, jumpers and batteries.
