Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a mounting part is added to carry loads, then the utility of the flying vehicle is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting part is merged with the existing arm part structure, utilizing the arm part as both a structural support and a load-carrying component. The mounting part is installed on the arm part to extend its functionality without adding completely separate structural elements, thus improving versatility while controlling complexity.
2Reliability
If the mounting part is fixed in position, then the structure is simpler, but the vehicle cannot cope with lateral wind during descent
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting part is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to adjust its position in response to lateral wind forces during descent. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the vehicle to maintain stability and safety by shifting the center of gravity appropriately, while the movement mechanism remains integrated with the arm part structure.
3Device complexity
If the mounting part is positioned at the center of the arm part, then the structure is more basic, but there is no measure to cope with lateral wind
Solution Approach 1:
By positioning the mounting part at the center of the arm part and making it movable, the design achieves structural simplicity while enabling dynamic response to lateral wind conditions. The mounting part can shift position to adjust the center of gravity, providing wind resistance capability without complex additional structures.
