ENAE 632 Technical Paper and Presentation - Spring 2002

Must be on a topic related to helicopter or tilt-rotor aerodynamics.
Try not to make the topic too broad - keep in mind the length limits.
Topic title and outline must be submitted to the instructor for approval no later than Feb. 28.
Papers on subject material closely related to the student's own research/work activity is strongly discouraged.
The paper is limited in length to that of an AHS/AIAA Technical Note. This is usually one-quarter the length of a full journal paper. Typically, this means no more than 9 units, where 1 unit equals one page of double spaced text or 1 full-size figure.
The content of the paper is to be at the level of a person knowledgeable in the field of helicopter technology, but not necessarily a specialist in aerodynamics.
Papers must be concise and precise.
Focus on the physics of your topic problem.
Any more than a few key equations (if required) is discouraged.
A good paper will have few (if any) spelling and gramatical errors.
A good balance of text and figures is recommended.

Each presentation is limited to no more than 15 minutes. 10 minutes are allocated for the oral presentation, with 5 minutes for questions and answers.
Use no more than 7 viewgraphs. A title slide does not count toward the limit.
The presentation should convey the essential elements of the work given in the written paper.
The presentation should end with a clear conclusions slide.
Graphs and plots etc. should be clear and legible.
Presentations will be graded by students and the instructor.
