CODE 2121



Week 3 – Vertical Stabilizer


For week three we had to create a reasonably high tower than would withstand a ‘blow test’. The aim was to build the tower as tall as possible and as stable as possible. We had a deck of cards and paper clips to complete this task. Our group decided to waffle the design, believing that this would enable us to reach a reasonable height and construct something that would be reasonable stable.


How and where the structure failed? The structure was quite stable and withstood two ‘blow tests’, however it was not very tall. 


Dimensions?
Height - 450mm
Base dimensions - 150mm x 150mm

Height/Width of Base?
450/150 = 3
