Minimum-Mass Limits for Streamlined Venus Atmospheric Probes
Jacob S. Izraelevitz, Jeffery L. Hall
Small, expendable drop probes are an attractive method for making measurements in the lower atmosphere of Venus, \,augmenting the capabilities of orbiters or aerial platforms that…
Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery at Mars Using a Jetpack
Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Samuel Sirlin +32
Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery (MAHD) is a new Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) architecture to enable in situ mobility for Mars science at lower cost than previous missions. It uses…
Motivations and Preliminary Design for Mid-Air Deployment of a Science Rotorcraft on Mars
Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Larry A. Young +18
Mid-Air Deployment (MAD) of a rotorcraft during Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) on Mars eliminates the need to carry a propulsion or airbag landing system. This reduces the total…
Design of a Ballistically-Launched Foldable Multirotor
Daniel Pastor, Jacob Izraelevitz, Paul Nadan +3
The operation of multirotors in crowded environments requires a highly reliable takeoff method, as failures during takeoff can damage more valuable assets nearby. The addition of a…
Design and Autonomous Stabilization of a Ballistically Launched Multirotor
Amanda Bouman, Paul Nadan, Matthew Anderson +4
Aircraft that can launch ballistically and convert to autonomous, free flying drones have applications in many areas such as emergency response, defense, and space exploration, whe…
A Novel Degree of Freedom in Flapping Wings Shows Promise for a Dual Aerial/Aquatic Vehicle Propulsor
Jacob S. Izraelevitz, Michael S. Triantafyllou
Ocean sampling for highly temporal phenomena, such as harmful algal blooms, necessitates a vehicle capable of fast aerial travel interspersed with an aquatic means of acquiring in-…
