Worked towards development of two different fixed-wing UAVs, with wingspans both over 10m and under 3m.
Designed ground and flight tests to verify airframe aerodynamic performance using RC prototypes.
Used NX CAD to design and later build jigs to test UAV prototypes.
Run low fidelity CFD models on XFLR to develop digital twins for RC UAV prototypes.
Wrote reports to outline experimental and computational test results verifying UAV airframe requirements using experimental data from ground tests and test-flight data from Ardupilot.
