World War I Aircraft Design Project Assignment for Digital Arts and Engineering Semester 2 Objective: Design a World War I aircraft that showcases innovative features and aerodynamic capabilities while adhering to historical accuracy and realistic performance expectations. Your project should demonstrate an understanding of the era's technological advancements, military strategies, and societal influences on aviation development. Requirements: 1. Choose one specific type of WWI aircraft (e.g., Sopwith Camel, Fokker Dr.I, SPAD S.XIII) as the basis for your design. 2. Research and analyze historical data to inform your modifications, ensuring that any changes remain within the realm of possibility given the time period's technological constraints. 3. Develop a comprehensive design brief outlining key performance parameters (e.g., speed, maneuverability, payload capacity), as well as materials and manufacturing techniques employed in the original aircraft. 4. Create detailed 2D drawings and 3D models illustrating your design changes, clearly labeling all components and modifications. 5. Write a persuasive narrative justifying your design choices, highlighting how they address specific performance or operational challenges faced by WWI pilots. 6. Prepare a presentation (15-20 slides) to effectively communicate your project's key aspects, incorporating visual aids, diagrams, and relevant statistics to engage the audience. Deliverables: * Design brief document (2 pages) * 3D model with modifications * Narrative essay (1 page) * Presentation (15-20 slides) Grading Criteria: * Creativity and originality of design modifications (30%) * Thoroughness and accuracy in historical research (25%) * Clarity and effectiveness of presentation (20%) * Quality of written narrative justifying design choices (25%) Timeline: The project will be completed over a period of 6 weeks, with the following milestones: Week 1: Research and design brief development Week 2-3: Design modifications and 3D modeling Week 4-5: Narrative essay and presentation preparation Week 6: Final presentation and submission
