Projects Contributions

 1)  I contributed pitch ideas and questions for the group during the initial stages. My initial pitch was for the F-15E wings as they can not only save the lives of the pilot but also safeguard Singapore's airspace. Information was gathered from my reader's response. I tried to be impartial and objective by asking clarifying questions and coming to an agreement that my initial pitch was unrealistic. We eventually settled on SLA 3D printing as we had all agreed it was the most feasible and interesting idea. 2) Online meeting to work on the problem statement and initial headway for our research.  I used the sample problem statements and reports as a reference to clarify our doubts and propose potential changes. I used OneSearch and Google Scholar to find relevant sources using keywords. These keywords include SLA, prosthetic, photopolymer resin, benefits, limitations, and nanomaterials. Some of these keywords such as nanomaterials were added after our initial research. Hel...

READER RESPONSE DRAFT #3

 The F-15E Strike Eagle, a variant of the F-15 fighter family, excels as a versatile, dual-role aircraft (Air Force, 2019). It is designed for both air-to-air combat and precision air-to-ground strikes, making it a highly capable and adaptable fighter (Air Force, 2019). Since their merger, Boeing has replaced McDonnell Douglas as the fighter's manufacturer (Owen, 2023). The cropped delta wings are swept back at 45 degrees, which contributes to the fighter's flight and combat abilities (Zorro, 2017). It lacks leading-edge flaps, while the trailing edge is equipped with ailerons and a basic high-lift flap (Zorro, 2017). Due to these reasons, the plane has a low wing loading which gives it excellent maneuverability without compromising speed (Zorro, 2017). Titanium is used in the construction of the wing spars, which reinforces the wings from within, as it is more lightweight and durable than steel (Harris, 2023). As later variants of the F-15, a semi-monocoque fighter aircraft, a...
