Our 'no load' speed this year gives us about 7.8 meters per second. Reducing that to 7, to account for efficiency, or lack thereof, and then maybe say 6.5 just to not overrate ourselves, we should have about 20 feet per second.
We are definatly going speed. At 6.5 meters per second you can jump the ramp, like, go up on side and not touch ground till the carpet on the other. We wanted to shoot for cool with that, although it forced us to rethink our chassis design so it can take a landing.
It will look really cool when we have our 'wings' extended, they just increase puching area, but they look like forward swept wings.
All we gotta get now is to get our sprockets, chain, and pillow blocks, and wait on the 80/20 people for our frame.
Weeee, I can't wait.
We aren't going to be a puching team, definatly, we are expecting only around 600 N of thrust.
