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...
