Boat Planning: High Supply & Logistics Score
Engineers draw plans to help them think. The Search & Logistics mission is big! (If you still need to download FLEET, you can email fleet@navalengineers.org or simply download it at www.fleetengineering.org.
Challenge #8
Build a boat that performs well in the Search & Logistics mission.
This ship will be larger and cover thousands more miles than anything you built before! What parts of your design can you change to make this huge ship go fast? Maneuver well? What tests can you do to master this mission with your new ship? What are your goal for those tests? Are you using the money wisely? You have to pay for a lot of cargo, but still need to maximize your budget.
Upload your first Search & Logistics design here. (You can take a screenshot by hitting “Printscreen” on Windows and Command + 3 on Macs.)

Boat Planning: High Search & Rescue Score
Engineers draw plans to help them think. You are going to have to think hard to find ways to build a FLEET ship that will be great at the Search & Rescue mission. (If you still need to download FLEET, you can email fleet@navalengineers.org or simply download it at www.fleetengineering.org.
The new objectives and the budget make this mission tough! What parts of your design can you change to make your ship go fast? What parts of your ship will not affect the speed of the ship? Do you a heavier ship will go faster or slower? How can you find out?
Are you using the money wisely to balance getting to the shipwreck and saving people at the shipwreck?

Boat Planning: Quick Rescue
Final test! Keep creating plans to design your ships. You are going to have to think hard to find ways to build a FLEET ship that is quick at rescuing 2 people. (If you are having problems downloading FLEET, please let them know by emailing fleet@navalengineers.org.
Challenge #5
Build a boat that quickly rescues the 2 people in the Rescue Practice.
There are many options for rescuing people. You can use a boat or two! There are helicopters, and you can even rescue them using your big ship. What additions will help you be successful? How does your ship’s weight affect your final times?

Boat Planning: Quick to Maneuver
A new idea to master! Maneuvering means how your ship turns and stops. You will want a ship that you can control well for all the missions. (If you are having problems downloading FLEET, please let them know by emailing fleet@navalengineers.org today. They love to help!
Challenge #4
Build a boat that quickly maneuvers through the Maneuverability Test course.
Not only does your ship have to be fast, you have to be able to control it easily. What ship parts will help you be successful? How does your ship’s weight affect your final times?
Upload your first Maneuverability Test design here. (You can take a screenshot by hitting “Printscreen” on Windows and Command + 3 on Macs.)

Challenge #2
Build a boat that performs well in the Speed Test.
The engines are pushing you forward, but the water is slowing your ship down. What parts of your design can you change to make it go fast? What parts of your ship will not affect the speed of the ship? Do you think a heavier ship will go faster or slower? How can you find out?
