Test Title: Testing functionality of Disaster Relief Aircraft

Scope: This test verifies that the proposed aircraft design meets the following requirements:

1. Must be able to cover a minimum evacuation distance of 500 km (1000 kM round trip).

2. Must have a cruise speed which is less than 310 m/s.

3. Rate of climb (ROC) must be larger than your cruise speed for vertical flight.

4. Airfoil shape must be able to fit support beam.

5. Internal beam must be able to support aircraft without breaking or deflecting beyond 30
degrees.
