08 - Design & Development of a Propulsion System for an Unmanned Surface Vehicle
Description/Abstract/Artist Statement
A twin-jet propulsion system designed to achieve 15knots on a 6.5' fiberglass v-hull USV and plane. This design intends to minimize cavitation and maintain a 100lb+ payload capacity. The steering system is novel and employes a crank-slider-crank mechanism.
