Team Lead: Lynn Miller - 303-666-8233
Team Members: Dave Shank, Pete Watkins, Scott McEwen
Team Function: The team was formed to engineer and build a reliable trailer to carry the B25 project to various locations. These locations will be determined by the young aviators and their leadership.
Primary Use: The B25 will be taken to various functions where it can be put on display for educational purposes. The unit will be accessible to the general public to further the interest in aviation primarily among the youth.
Time Restraints: The trailer is to be built within certain time restraints as listed below with the goal to have it finished and tested for highway use.
Trailer Objective: The trailer must carry the B25 safely to a designated location, and then be able to raise the unit to a height yet to be determined so access can be granted from its belly. The trailer must be able to safely lock into the accessible height without any doubt that it will remain in that position until it is ready to be lowered. Once lowered, it then must be locked down for highway travel. The trailer must be able to carry a minimum of 4,000 lbs and travel over 4,000 miles without any maintenance.
Time Line: Completion: Approximate Time:
1.) Engineering and drawings 10/31/2014 40 hours
2.) Materials 11/15/2014 40 hours
3.) Fabrication 3/31/2015 300 hours
4.) Licensing 4/15/2015 20 hours
5.) Testing 4/30/2014 40 hours
