BLOG by Phoenix Aero :

Team Phoenix Aero launched its blog at the beginning of September 2021. The main purpose of the blog is to help gain knowledge, insights and educate students on recent or past research related to aeronautics, aerospace and aeromodelling.

The blog will be posted on the first week of every month. Each team member will get an opportunity to do their own research and contribute to the blog.

With the help of this blog, Phoenix Aero aims to build a community of like-minded people interested in aeromodelling and aviation and they wish to spread their knowledge to a wide audience.

QUARTER REPORT of Phoenix Racing :

This quarter mainly involved the recruitment of a new batch and their subsequent training. The main activities conducted for the recruits included department-wise research and its documentation in the format of reports. All work was done in groups, hence promoting brainstorming, discussion and debate. The entire activity lasted six weeks - one week for each major automotive department (Powertrain 1, Powertrain 2, Electrical, Chassis, Brakes, Suspension & Steering).

With regular meetings and constant messages, the team has managed to thrive even after a year of staying at home which is undeniably unconducive to automotive innovation and manufacturing. The team’s main focus, now, is achieving new heights in terms of design and optimisation of performance. For this, the team has attended several national and international level webinars in the past months and has continued to carry out designing a Formula Student vehicle virtually.

BPP: In this event, teams are to develop a comprehensive business model which demonstrates a product featuring the designed racecar. Phoenix Racing presented an automotive specific software that comes with its own sister game software. The game was set to support VR and unique customisation features.

The team worked hard in the areas of product development, market research, etc. They performed well and got good remarks from the judges. The overall AIR was 12.

EDP: The objective of Formula Bharat Virtuals is to evaluate the students’ engineering process and efforts that went into designing a vehicle. The event evaluates the result of a 10 month team effort. Reviews obtained in this event are important for the successor team to improve the team’s design procedure and documentation skills.

Phoenix Racing ranked 19 in this event.

Rev-it: In Rev-it, racers had the opportunity to apply their engineering knowledge in the field of vehicle dynamics and vehicle control to obtain the shortest lap time in 3 events. Phoenix Racing showcased splendid driving capabilities on one of the most powerful vehicles - LOTUS 98T, selected for this challenge.

Drag: 16 out of 62 participants Hill climb: 17 out of 54 participants Endurance: Made it into semi-finals
