Abstract:This project outlines all the details of designing a unique vehicle for the Formula SAE Design competition. A chassis will be designed that can support all the other systems of the vehicle as well as provide some protection for the driver. The chassis will also feature considerations for a custom suspension system that will keep the vehicle a certain distance from the ground and provide for an adequate amount of chamber gain during cornering. A drive train system will be designed featuring a chain drive powered by an inline four cylinder engine with custom designed cooling, air intake, and fuel injection systems. A braking system will also be designed in accordance with the drive train system to ensure that the vehicle can safely come to a stop. This report will outline the process for selecting the optimal chassis design, suspension, braking, and drive train systems such as cooling, air intake, and fuel injection systems. | ||
