NOTICES 

Wed Jan 18  busjet.f and its input file busjet.dat are
            in /home/aero461/bin

Thu Feb 23  From Shevell, page 187 I curve fit the Douglas data
            as e = .97 - .88(CDp)(AR)
                CDp = parasite drag coefficient
                AR  = aspect ratio

Fri Feb 24  Propeller data, AIAA Handbook, Raymer, Nicolai can be
            checked out (not overnight) at main office, 304 Town


Fri Feb 28  Report requirements can be found from "Aircraft Project"
            page

Mon Mar 6   Weight subroutine errors and alterations:
          1.  In W2 expression: change 1.0*RKWS to 1.0+RKWS
          2.  In W4 expression: change 32.0+RNPA to 32.0*RNPA
          3.  In EPSILON expression (under 27000 ft.)
                  change EPSILON = 1.44077*(WE**(-0.0272))
                  to     EPSILON = .95*1.44077*(WE**(-0.0272)) 

   NOTE:   The  Version in "Notes" has been corrected.

Mon Mar 27  Sign up for oral interview on your a/c design project
            Run /home/aero461/bin/schedule461
            Note: you must see L N Wilson to change your reservation
                  all interviews will be next week

Wed Mar 29  Info on STAR motor can be xeroxed from the copies
            in Rm 304. Ask the secretaries.
            Booster info is in AIAA Launch Vehicle Handbook in Library
            See anyone in Aero464 if you need other info

Mon Apr 3   When sizing the kick motor use a structural mass ratio of 
            lambda=.2=(structure mass)/(structure mass+ propellant mass)

Mon Apr 10   The Astronomical Almanac, 1995, is in the Library Reference
            shelves QB8
                    Un3a1 

Wed Apr 12  CONMAIN.f can be found in "Final Project" under "Projects"

Mon Apr 17  I have left a collection of papers on the Mars Observer 
            Mission in 304 Town. There are papers included on the 
            trajectory and orbit that may be of help.

Tue Apr 18  The lambda=.2 estimate applies only to the spacecraft.
            For the kick motor, etc., use the actual value for the
            STAR ( about .07)

Mon May 1   Pick up earlier projects outside Room 303, Town
