Active member of Purdue's aircraft design and competition teams, participated in national competitions including AUVSI SUAS and AIAA Design/ Build/ Fly competitions. Currently, serving as the Chief engineer of the SAE Aero Design team in SAE Purdue.
Mk1 proof of concept flight. The aircraft CG was incorrect, hence it was pitching way too much leading to an aborted mission.
Mk2 flight test. The first PSAEA aircraft to land without a rapid unscheduled disassembly
The SAE Aero team has been active for the past 2 years with the following academic year being it's third year. The team competes in the SAE Aero Design Regular Class Category.
These competitions challenge me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world aircraft design problems, from conceptual design through manufacturing and flight testing, continuously adapting to challenges such as while manufacturing.
