There are multiple methods for an antenna tracker to do this. One is to use RADAR to find the aircraft and feed the altitude and angles to the antenna tracker, this is proven to be too expensive to support the UAV development program at UniKL MIAT. Another way is to have the aircraft to emit a signal (or two) and a receiver at the antenna tracker electronically compares what it receives and uses that information to point the antenna(s) with. This works as one emitted signal is slightly weaker than the other. This project discusses the way the APM Mission Planner does it. It is far more simple and yet very much as effective as the other mentioned methods. It is by far less expensive too since all UAV at UniKL MIAT uses the APM2 control boards which is compatible with the APM Mission Planner. A UAV Antenna Tracker System usually costs almost USD 1000. This is proven to be costly and too expensive to have more than one unit to support the vast progress of the UAV development at UniKL MIAT. Therefore, this project will focus on building a prototype that is low cost and effective to support the UAV development program at UniLK MIAT. To achieve the low cost objective, this project uses the parts and hardware that are mostly available in Malaysia market and neighbouring region. This will save cost especially the shipping cost. Some of the parts will be made from scratch rather than buying a ready-made item. As a result, the entire project cost less than RM1000 (USD312). The cost saving is almost one third of the ready-made UAV Antenna Tracker in the market.

Purpose of this project is to design and build a mechanism on the passenger stowage bin to make it more convenient to stow away the bags. This project or design consist of mechanical and electrical components including two (2) resistance sensors that are very easy to control or use. This design is also completed with safety mechanism that will cut-off the operation during failure. ln most aircraft, the stowage bin are high. It is difficult for short person especially Asians to reach their belongings that are put far in the stowage. Hopefully, this project will help to solve the problem.

Then, the specimen is prepared according to American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) test standards with some modification. There are 4 orientations that will used for the test which are 0°, +2°, +4°, and +6°. Each angle of orientation have 5 specimens. From many tests, flexural test is chosen to test its strength. The test is conducted by using a proper machine. The data is then recorded and being analysed to determine which angle of orientation have better strength. As a result the highest strength that obtained from the test was at 0 degrees angle of orientation.

Kapok fiber is a naturally renewable material with large lumen and hydrophobic characteristics, which enables it to show good oil sorption capacity. The treatment of kapok fiber is expected to increase oil absorbency capability. In this project, kapok fiber is chemically treated with several solvent with different concentration, number of cycles of sorption and time of oil absorbency on kapok fiber is assessed with engine oil, hydraulic fluid and jet-A1 fuel as the model oils. Hydrochloric acid treatment is preferable in enhancing the oil absorbtion capacity of kapok fiber assembly. Skydrol is determined as good aviation oil to be absorbed due to its high viscocity characteristic. The effect of contact time between kapok fiber and oil for oil sorption after 15 seconds and 60 seconds are also not significantly different. The fiber is capable of retaining most of oil sorption capacity after squeezing. High oil absorption, excellent reusability and good biodegradability make treated kapok fiber a suitable alternative to traditionally synthetic oil sorbents applied to the aviation oil spill recovery.
