Many of you have been a passenger on an airliner, and I'm sure at least all of you have seen 00:00:00
one flying across the sky. 00:00:06
Maybe you've wondered, what goes into designing one? 00:00:08
Well, this show's online activity gives you the opportunity to model your own future passenger 00:00:11
plane. 00:00:16
By choosing different wings, tails, engines, and fuselage layouts, you can put together 00:00:17
a complete airplane and see if it will fly. 00:00:23
All of this right on your computer screen. 00:00:26
Aided by computer analysis, you'll have quick feedback on the effect of each decision you 00:00:28
make. 00:00:33
The program you'll use is called Airplane Design Workshop, and it will give you an example 00:00:34
of how artificial intelligence may be used now and in the future to assist engineers 00:00:39
in the modeling and design process. 00:00:44
Let's go to Central Elementary School in Pleasant Grove, Utah, where Mr. Bill Shuler's students 00:00:46
will guide you through this activity. 00:00:51
Hello, I'm Bill Shuler, the technology specialist for Central Elementary School, and we're doing 00:00:53
some problem-based education using Desktop Aero's aircraft design program. 00:00:58
The students are pretending they are design engineers for an aeronautical firm. 00:01:05
They have a contract with an airline to design an airplane, and if they design the airplane 00:01:08
properly, they will receive a contract for the purchase of these airplanes and construction. 00:01:14
If not, they'll lose the contract, and the company will go bankrupt, so it's a little 00:01:19
less than economics, too. 00:01:22
NASA Connect asks us to show you the Aircraft Design Workshop, developed by Desktop Aeronautics 00:01:24
Incorporated. 00:01:30
The main challenge with this activity is to see how fast you can fly and still meet the 00:01:32
design requirements. 00:01:37
First we go to the NASA Connect website and click on the Norbert's Lab button to link 00:01:39
to the online activity. 00:01:44
At the top of the screen, you'll see a line of pictures. 00:01:47
Click on the picture of the wing on the left side. 00:01:50
Here you choose the sweep, size, and aspect ratio of your wings. 00:01:54
Okay, now choose the next button, which gives you size, area, and aspect ratio choices for 00:01:58
your tail. 00:02:05
The next button over lets you choose the type of jet, amount of thrust, and number and placement 00:02:06
of engines for your airplane. 00:02:12
Now select the seating arrangement. 00:02:15
This button lets you select the speed, altitude, and amount of fuel for your plane. 00:02:17
Now you'll pick a final destination. 00:02:22
All trips will start at Washington, D.C. 00:02:25
With all these choices made, it's time to have the computer program analyze your selection. 00:02:28
Click on the last button to evaluate your airplane. 00:02:33
You'll find out if you're ready to fly. 00:02:37
If not, you can go back to make other choices. 00:02:39
The software program will suggest how you might improve your design. 00:02:42
Thanks for watching NASA Connect from Central Elementary. 00:02:46
Bye! 00:02:51
We hope you will try your hand with this online activity. 00:02:53
The program offers a rich foundation for problem solving, reflection, and analysis. 00:02:57
See what design situations you might create, and then use the software to solve them. 00:03:01
