Article 06 UNAB

 

I recall that Articles are NOT the main activity of Aerial Creatures & Cognitive Integration. Articles are meant to finance the main R&D activity

 

From Jun 2006 up to Oct 2006 i've been involved in projects and teaching at Universidad Andres Bello, Faculty of Architecure and Industrial Design, in Santiago de Chile. Further collaborations are being evaluated at present time

Article 06 sums up all the activity being done, including:

  • An introductory speech explaining my activity as Aerial Creatures & Cognitive Integration

  • Developing of a flight model in X-Plane for a Carbon Dragon trainer glider being entirely built and engineered by a pool of teachers and students at the University
    [DOWNLOAD] A 30" video trailer in low quality, flight testing in X-Plane the glider being realised at Universidad Andres Bello in Santiago, Chile. Background music from Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's pianism (Ludwig Van Beethoven, Sonata N.4, 1st movement)
  • Realisation of an aerial choreography "Sudden Appearance of Ivan Tsarevich" as introductory ceremony for a photography contest held under the University patronage

  • 28 h of teaching "Prototipacion de Articulos Volantes" (flying articles prototyping) for the Magister "Tecnologias en diseno": basis of aerodynamics and flight mechanics, introduction to X-Foil and X-Plane software, analysis and test flying of a number of "creatures"/"aircraft models" suggested by the students (ranging from industrial designers to artists) realised on a short time schedule by developing rapid prototyping attitudes. A couple of .pdf notes have been written concerning notions of aerodynamical coefficients, flight stability, as well as a tutorial for the X-Plane software on a designer point of view. The build up of a human and enthousiastic attitude has been emphasized by the teacher and actively developed by the students

    I will post a detailed illustration of the students' work, a video montage of the flight tests and course ambiance
