6. AIRCRAFT DESIGN PROJECT
 Software Used: Excel Spreadsheets
• Mission Objective was to carry 8 lbs. of payload (sand)
and do a precision bombing run on a designated area
• Constraints: aircraft must be less than 55lb, have an
internal combustion engine, LiPo or LiFE battery, and
have a 2.4GHz radio
• Primarily responsible for the tail design portion of the
aircraft
• Utilized various aircraft design sources to assist in
designing the tail

CONT.
Engineering GD&T Drawing
• Fully responsible for all critical
engineering drawings needed to pass
the design screening
• Applied GD&T to the aircraft to show
electronic equipment locations, CG
location, and the overall dimensions
 Software Used: SolidWorks

11. CFD ROCKET NOSE PROJECT
(ARIAN 64 ROCKET)
 Software Used: SolidWorks, ESI Grid Pro and Fortran
• The purpose of this project was to analyze the
axisymmetric behavior of a rocket at subsonic speeds
(Mach 0.9) utilizing department software and comparing
the results to a similar experiment
• Utilized SolidWorks to create the outer shape of the rocket
and inserted it into Grid Pro to create the CFD mesh
• ESI Fortran was then used to create the simulation
11

12. CFD ROCKET NOSE PROJECT
(ARIAN 64 ROCKET) CONT.

Arduino to simulate an UAV’s pitch and roll dynamics
using microcontrollers
• Used Arduino libraries to code an IMU and output raw
acceleration/gyro values
• Assisted in coding a complimentary filter using online
resources
13

14. ROCKET CLUB PROJECT
