Contributions to the technical report: Project idea and direction: Googled popular body cooling devices, shortlisted the top few. Googled Singapore based construction companies to decide on stakeholders Dedicated task allocation Discussed and finalised problem solution Came up with general schematic idea for proposed solution, discussed with group fan placements and implementation of power source Report content: Prompted ChatGPT to generate a transmittal letter with the context of our project. Added section 2. Proposed solution. Added section 2.1 Optimised power source. Prompted ChatGPT to list benefits of portable power banks and implemented it into solution. Prompted google benefits of type C USB cables. Added section 2.2 Addition of inlet fans. Googled Bernoullis' principle to aid in enhancing cooling effect. Linking idea back to Kuchofuku Japanese jacket, finalising on optimal inlet fan placement at the side of device near users waist Added section 2.3 Implementation of Mesh Sa...

 The Boeing 787 Dreamliners iconic curved wings are one of many aviation achievements (Boeing, 2010). Spanning 60 meters, these massive wings can lift up to 227,950kg. They include all standard flight control systems such as ailerons, flaps, slats and spoilers, as well as, some advanced mechanisms such as gust suppression and load alleviation. The 787’s wings are unique due to the fact that they can bend considerably. According to Hardiman (2020), this feature is intentional to provide a smoother ride for passengers. Additionally, the use of composite materials allows the wings to achieve their length, without compromising strength. Hirst (2008) reported that carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP), was used extensively due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike many other aircraft wings, the 787’s wings do not feature winglets. Instead, Boeing developed a new device known as raked wingtips which acts both as an improvement of winglets by increasing the aspect ratio...
