Optimasi Perancangan Rangka Airboat menggunakan metode Quality Function Deployment dan Full Factorial Design

Abstract

An airboat is a versatile vehicle designed for operation on both land and shallow waters, powered by an air propeller. These vessels are commonly utilized for recreational purposes, search and rescue operations, military applications, and transportation in remote areas. As development in these regions progresses, the demand for airboats has grown. However, challenges such as limited carrying capacity and inadequate damping call for innovations in frame design. This study aims to develop a new frame design that is both more robust and reliable, employing the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method in conjunction with Full Factorial Design. The factors considered include passenger capacity, design model, and material. The findings indicate that the optimal design is achieved with a combination of carbon steel material, a rectangular ISO 10799 design model, and a capacity to accommodate three passengers with luggage. This configuration yields a von Mises stress of 29.927 MPa and a safety factor of 11.6952.
