| I was born in Calgary, Alberta, and have lived there all my life. My interests include playing in the Calgary Youth Orchestra, cycling, and flying. I have had a passion for flying since I was 3, and I am currently working towards my pilot's license. This is where the inspiration for my project came from. I was looking for a project to do for science fair this year, and I thought of alternative ways of deicing aircraft. After a few scrapped designs, I finally came up with this one. Next year, I hope to further my research with the help of a professor, including building a model of my design and testing it in a wind tunnel. Post secondary, I hope to earn a degree in Aerospace Engineering, and eventually be involved in air crash investigation. I would like to thank my parents for supporting whatever I do, my teachers, and those in the aviation community who have given me advice and picked apart my designs. |

De-icing Light Aircraft
| Défi: | Innovation | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Calgary Youth | | Ville: | Calgary, AB | | École: | Webber Academy | | Sommaire: | This project is the development and evaluation of a new technique to remove accumulated ice from light aircraft using compressed air forced through perforations on a wing. It consisted of computer modeling to generate a feasible design, finite element analysis to determine the optimal arrangement of perforations, as well as wind tunnel tests to determine the aerodynamic properties of this design. |
