Stealth Model Requirements

©1993, 1998 by James P. Riser

One Experimental Stealth Model per Team:

1. The stealth model is to be designed to be "invisible" to the sonic probe. The design should be based upon the information presented by the various groups during their oral reports.

2. The cross-sectional area of the stealth model must be at least 314 square centimeters.

3. The stealth model must fasten on to the end of a 1/2" wooden dowel for testing purposes.

4. The stealth model must be solid enough to be self supporting, must contain a seat to hold an "action figure", and must have a clear windshield.

 

 


This is a view looking straight onto the tip of the model.


 

 

This view shows the construction of a seat for an action figure and the hole for the wooden dowel handle.

 

 

 


This illustrates another stealth model under construction. The windshield still needs cutting out and installing.

 

 

Both of the stealth models shown were made of cardboard and covered with black foam material.

 

Many other shapes will work. Try not to copy these two shapes.

 

 


Team is responsible for:

1. The design of their own stealth model.

2. Acquiring the materials for the stealth model.

3. Building the stealth model to the official specifications.

4. Storage of the stealth model.
