Every aircraft design needs a designator or name. For the two small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) platforms (i.e., fixed-wing [FW] and rotary-wing [RW]) I am developing to support my supervisory control research, I chose:
Experimental, Analytics Gathering, Low-cost, Electric (EAGLE) sUAS
So the EAGLE-FW and EAGLE-RW sUAS, respectively. Considering the mascot of ERAU (my employer and the fund provider for the research) is an eagle, the selection seems appropriate. The primary purpose of these designs is to exhibit a low-cost proof of concept supervisory sUAS control system and perform a series of quantitative experiments to capture data (i.e., gather analytics) using the two customized electric powered vehicle elements (built off Storm 430 Helicopter and Lanyu FPVRaptor R/C platforms).
