What do you do when there’s something you need immediately? Call someone to deliver it? Don’t you think that might be slow? But is there any faster way? What if you can fly your package over to you instead? Even if your in the middle of a street? Plus, how many people do you think companies have to hire to deliver something to you? Have you ever thought about about drone delivery? A drone doesn’t need someone to pilot it, which means it will be less expensive, and that it will be way faster than normal delivery. Our project is about making a package that can fall from the drone and deliver the package to you safely. What we deliver is going to be portable chargers, we choose it because many people outside have their phone running out of battery when they need it, now since we can safely deliver a portable charger to them, they wouldn’t have to worry about their phone running out of battery anymore.

Our research question is how holes in the parachute might affect the accuracy and the drag of the product when falling. What we are varying is how many and where the holes are placed in the parachute and what shape the holes are. We aim to make the package fall and land within 75 centimeters of wherever we want it to land. Our goal is to make the parachute more accurate without speeding up the parachute much by adding holes.

Drop 0 is our first drop which is just the package without any protection or parachute. The purpose of Drop 0 is to see if our design decreased the velocity of the package.

Claim: We are going to need a hole in the parachute to make it more accurate because it sometimes doesn’t fall within 50 cm from the landing point.

Evidence: The furthest one away from landing point was 75 cm.

Reasoning: The furthest one away from the landing point was 75 cm and we need it to land within 50 cm instead which is why we would need a hole in the parachute since that would make it more accurate.
