Team 20: Optimized Arrow Vanes for Broadhead Flight
Abstract
An arrow’s flight is characterized by a delicate balance of drag, accuracy, stability, sound, and wind drift. With Iron Will Outfitters, we wanted to design a new arrow vane that improves upon these characteristics in broadhead flight over industry competition. By utilizing empirical testing and complex fluid simulations we have developed the optimized arrow vanes for broadhead flight for use in both the target and hunting archery market.
