Program to Design Pneumatic UAV Launcher

This project challenged a three-person team to create a program in python that can calculate critical design criteria for a pneumatic UAV launching system. The project required research into the underlying physics to determine not only the describing equations but also the variables of interest. The programming itself required multi-level iterations and while loops to find determine the best possible solution of all available options.

The main difficulty with this project was determining how to best approach a solution. By using block diagrams and flow charts, our group was able to find a concise method of concluding the best answer with as few operations as possible.
