All three members of the power and propulsion team were present today.
We discussed the different ways to approach choosing the hovercraft's fans. After collaborating with the structure and levitation group it was decided that it would be wise to pick the propulsion fans first and to use their weights to calculate the pressure required, flowrate, and pick a levitation fan. This is because we can control the speed that the propulsion fans operate at to tune movement, but the levitation fan has stricter tolerances it must meet.
We also determined that our rudder fan may need to be brushed. We will now consider a motor-propellor combination so that the direction can be reversed without having to take apart the encoder that comes with the fan or making our own.
