Creative Engineering design
For this project our group was to stop deforestation, so our goal was to make an aerial seeding to help to dispair the seeds to help repopulate the forest.
Concepts
he Plane: The Boeing C17 Globemaster III was an obvious choice as our plane. Its huge cargo bay and high carrying capacity were perfectly suited for carrying our seed hopper.
The Hopper: Our hopper would be constructed using a reinforced box, an axle with flaps to push the seeds out, and a handle to turn the axle.
Region: Our plane would be deployed in the significantly deforested areas of the amazon that are not populated by cattle or used as farming land.

Reflection
Our group was amazing at working hard. The only problem though was that I wasn't really contributing to the group so I will work on that for the next project, and group.
