The Design
The design of this project has been an intense process. There are significant intricacies that we created basic representations for in a 3-D model using AutoCad. With these 3-D representations we have also design plans created for each part. (Note: In order to view the 3D PDF in the first slide, click download original in the top right corner of the screen.)
Design Plans
As a part of the design process, the yellow team has created a Project Management Plan, in an effort to keep ourselves on track to completing the Kinetic Sculpture in our time-frame allowed. We also have a working parts list in order to show what parts are needed for our project.

The Customer
BANGOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Bangor International Airport serves thousands of people for national and international flights. Bangor is a main hub for military flights to and from Europe and the Middle East. Bangor International is excited to have a kinetic sculpture to place in their terminal. The primary audience of the sculpture will be children, and the sculpture will have an airport theme. They would like the sculpture to be centrally placed in the terminal for everyone to see. Below are pictures showing the proposed location for the Kinetic Sculpture.
