Christopher Wardle's portfolio includes university projects involving the design of commercial airliners and aircraft components using sketching, technical drawing, Photoshop, Solidworks, and 3D printing. His third year dissertation involved the design and layout of future long-range commercial airliners. His masters project expanded the design of dowel pins for Airbus. As part of his third year aircraft design enterprise, he helped design a twin jet commercial airliner.
