A few MAE 193 class projects...
Tom Verdecchio of PSE&G brought us an interesting design problem: Redesign of the helicopter platform used in live-line maintenance of high voltage transmission lines. The class enjoyed several field trips to see the apparatus that is currently in use. They also got to see professors Kaufman and Vallance dangling from the helicopter!
