Team 04: Arrow Vane For Broadhead Archery Hunting

We partnered with Iron Will Outfitters to benchmark industry leading arrow vanes and to design an improved vane that maximizes stability, yet minimizes drag and sound, while using a broadhead tip. Geometry and flight characteristics were optimized using CFD modeling, design of experiments, prototyping, and flight testing. This work will improve arrow performance and may lead to commercialization.
