PROJECTS

Team I-Drone - Design Validate Compete 2016 (3rd Place) Aug 2015 - May 2016

This is my undergraduate senior design project. The primary goal of the project was to design a high-speed, long-distance special delivery aircraft.

• For the Bronze Propeller Competition, we designed, validated and built a remote-controlled aircraft.

• I worked as the Flight Dynamics and Control lead, with a cross functional team of 4 people.

• I refined and optimized longitudinal and lateral stability using hand calculations, excel spreadsheet and Athena Vortex Lattice.

• I used Excel constantly to calculate the center of gravity, pitching moment, empennage and control surface sizing, elevator deflections and trim.

• A half scale model was constructed and tested in the 3x4 wind tunnel to reflect real-life scenarios.

• Progress was presented at the end of each design phase in both oral and written report format.

Aerodynamic Performance of Model Aircraft Leading Edge Construction Methods Aug - Dec 2015

The aim of this project is to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of model aircraft leading edge construction methods on low Reynold’s Number aircraft.

• I worked closely with a team of 3 to design, test and evaluate the aerodynamic performance of three popular model aircraft leading edge construction methods

(Fully sheeted, partially sheeted, No sheet).

• Used CATIA to design the wing box (ribs, spars).

• The wing loads and stresses were also analyzed using Catia V5, as a safety measure to enable a smooth test in the 3x4ft wind tunnel.

• All three wing models were built and tested for aerodynamic performance in a 3x4 wind tunnel.

• An alpha sweep was carried out on all three wings and data was collected.

• Using the data generated by the 3x4 wind tunnel, we reduced it and compared the aerodynamic performances of the three wing models.

• Finally, we Presented the project in both oral and written report format. Wing box stress test

Aug - Dec 2014

The aim of this project is to design and construct the lightest possible wing box which could also withstand a 10lbf of load based on a given set of materials.

• The wing box calculations were done by hand and Matlab was used to develop insinuations and iterate.

• An excel spreadsheet was used to organize the calculations and further tweak the design by reducing the number of stringers.

• The calculations and construction was carried out simultaneously, the wing box was tested and it exceeded the set limit of 10lbf.
