AIRVORTEX: Ejemplo de diseño multidisciplinar

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the

design process for a simple product using a

multidisciplinary point of view that includes

diverse knowledge areas such as aerodynamic

design, structural design, ergonomic analysis,

material selection, manufacturing process

analysis, packing, ecological design, and

recycling, as well as to present the prototype

manufacturing and the experimental test of the

end product. Technologies of reverse engineering

have been used to obtain the design solutions of

other companies. In addition, it is indispensable

to analyze the sequence of use and the

product’s interaction with both the user and the

environment, so the main design specifications

must be defined. This methodology has been

applied to a simple product installed habitually

in the wings of the light aircrafts, named

vorticity generators (VG).
