Critical Reflection

Module Learning: Before having this module, I assumed that the module was pointless because I would never gain anything from it. For me, I never liked reports or presentation and always struggled standing in front of a group of people. However, I was mistaken in assuming that the module wouldn't be helpful during the critical thinking classes. Throughout the 13 weeks, I learned new things like how to apply "PEEL" and how to cite my research which I have never learned in Polytechnic. I managed to gain the knowledge of how to do a thorough research to aid us with my report. This would be a big help in the future years for my IWSP report. I had gained confidence. In general, I realized that my report writing, and English was not good. Attending this enriching module, I am glad that my peers and professor guided me patiently through all the questions and struggles that I had faced.  In my critical thinking, it allows me to question every decision I had in mind by asking

Self Assessment of My Participation

In my humble opinion, I think I deserve a good grade as I always hands in assignment on time and participate a lot in class activities. I showed interest in this module because this helps me to gain confidence in voice projection and critical thinking. I showed others the utmost respect when they are answering or explaining something. I pays good attention to the comments answered by my classmates and questions asked by my classmates.

Research Project and Tech Report Contributions

Wrote benefits and evaluation of the report. Read up on TerraSol's current product known as Big Belly to check if my team's implementation existed or not. Researched on modifications for existing product with the team. Did secondary online research (Google) about effects and uses of ultraviolet lights, heat sensor and infrared sensors (Benefits). Did secondary online research (Google) on cost considerations new systems (Evaluation). Explained to team about the pros and cons of using sensors and ultraviolet light in our product.  Contributed to presentation slides for my own part.

Assignment 1b - Summary Reader Response Draft 3

Draft #3 The V-22 Osprey VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) propulsion system is one of the important features of the V-22 Osprey aircraft (Weiss, 2023). The groundbreaking construction fuses helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft features to offer incredible flexibility. According to the Hush Kit website (2020),  the propulsion system's two powerful engines, are powered by a combination of 6150 horsepower, one on each wingtip and the other running 38-foot diameter three-bladed propellers. As mentioned by the related research (Zhou, Zhao & Liu, 2019), the Osprey VTOL's rotors at the end of its wings, which are adapted to both vertical and horizontal orientations, can be adjusted. When in vertical mode, it's capable of getting airborne, landing, and hovering like a helicopter according to Leishman (2006). Whereas the Harrier turbofan engines are known as VTOL because of their weight penalty which leads them to be designed for vertical lift (Zhou et al., 2019). According to

V-22 Osprey Summary Reader Response Draft 2

Thesis Statement:  The propulsion system of the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor can accommodate a wider range of functions compared to the Harrier’s turbofan engine. Support 1: The V-22 Osprey is more suitable for missions, tasks or special operations as it can travel long range, hover, land and take-off vertically and horizontally unlike Harrier. Support 2: The V-22 Osprey can carry heavier payloads while performing vertical landings, such as transporting troops, equipment and supplies. Counterargument: The cost and maintenance are the disadvantages of the aircraft. Conclusion: V-22 Osprey can participate and both combat and non-combat missions while Harriers only can participate in combat operations. The V-22 Osprey VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) propulsion system is one of the important features of the V-22 Osprey aircraft (Arturo., 2023). The ground-breaking construction blends features of helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft to provide a remarkable versatility. Derived from (Hush Kit, 2

Summary Reader Response Draft 1

The Osprey VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) propulsion system is an important feature of the V-22 Osprey aircraft. The ground-breaking construction blends features of helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft to provide a remarkable versatility. The Osprey has rotors at the tip of its wings that are changeable between vertical and horizontal positions. It can take-off, land and hover like a helicopter while in vertical mode. In contrast to Harrier turbofan engines, due to the weight penalty that results the engine to be designed for vertical lift. During take-off or landing vertically, the Osprey’s rotors are shifted upward allowing them to produce lift similar to helicopter’s rotor blades. While during a forward flight, the Osprey tilts its rotors and redirect thrust to propel forward which produces high lift and keeps the fuselage horizontal. This eliminates the use of runways and makes it suitable for small locations and on ships. It operates similarly like a standard fixed-wing aircr

Initial Research Pathway

Luqman was looking through reddit and saw a video about Ukraine and Russia war using VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing). The team source up to 5 sources on Google. The team used ChatGPT to understand more about features of VTOL propulsion system. Read the articles and used information to synthesize our summary.
