Capstone Project

Capstone Project Statement of intent.


  • The goals for my project are as follows.
           1. Address the problem regarding efficiency in modern aircraft.
           2. Educate people on carbon nano tubes and show them their potential
           3. Propose carbon nano tubes as a replacement to conventional materiel used for                            airplanes such as steel and carbon fiber.
  • My project is important and one should care because in this day and age, a lot of people use airplanes as a means of transportation and with the energy problems we are having today, if we don't find a way to minimize energy consumption by airplanes and maximize efficiency, we will be on our way to a brighter future.
  • These goals fit my career objective because i want to become an aeronautical engineer and by working on an issue that directly impacts ,y career filed, I believe that i'm fulfilling my career objective by gaining useful experience.
  • My project gives back to society because if airplanes and other forms of daily transportation kept consuming too much energy, we will eventually be in a bigger energy crisis that we are today. The primary energy i'm talking about is oil and most of us need oil to get on with our daily lives. If buckypaper is used to replace all the current composites used in constructing airplanes, cars and other forms of transportation, our society will be on its way to a brighter future.
  • The mission of Richland College is teaching, learning, community building, and my project will reflect just that. It will educate people on how carbon nano tubes can impact our future and bring people together.
