rogress Construction will be done with readily available, CNC routed aluminum sandwich panels, to avoid complex molds and laborintensive layup, significantly cutting down manufacturing complexity, time and cost, while offering a performance close to molded monocoques. To further avoid manufacturing of complex molds, the wing profiles will use the moldless manufacturing technique tested in UoP4e, with a hotwire-cut foam core wrapped in carbon fiber. Powertrain performance target figures will be achieved using a single electric motor over multiple, for manageable cost and complexity. Steering system will use a kart-style pitman arm which simplifies the design, saves significant cost and weight with no performance penalty.
