Personal Projects
Projects completed for personal education and hobbies
Developed a VTOL aircraft capable of taking off and landing as a quadcopter and flying as an aircraft. The aircraft was developed to be manufactured as a kit to be assembled by hobbyists. A video link of the test flight is below.
Six molded connecting rods with inserted steel wire for a thermo-acoustic engine & CNC milled mold prototypes. Mold cavities were designed with magnets to retain the wire inserts throughout the molding process.
30cm long swept forward wing designed with a GOE398 airfoil. Optimized and tested to withstand 90mph winds while oriented to product the highest coefficient of lift.
