The NYIT chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has been working on this remote-control replica of a WW2-era Republic P-47 fighter plane. This project has helped our club gain more members, taught students about electronics and 3D printing, and allowed us to have fun! This P-47 plane has an all-3D printed fuselage and wings printed using MakerBot 3d printers. The plane is equipped with a 7.4 Volt LiPo battery, a 1000kV brushless motor, a hobbywing platinum v4 speed controller, and a flysky fs-i6 receiver and transmitter. It is also equipped with a small camera that can be viewed via a set of fat shark scout goggles to navigate the plane through its adventures.
