Flying Wing (Dec 2025 – Present)
Preliminary Design
Conceptualized a 1 kg flying-wing UAV with stability-focused geometry optimized for cruising at 30+ km/h. Incorporated MH60 root airfoil with PW51 wingtips, V-tail, and dihedral for strong aerodynamic stability.
CAD
Detailed CAD modeling in SolidWorks, integrating structural and avionics design with modular mounts for future FPV and payloads.
Analysis
Aerodynamic and stability analysis using XFLR5 and ANSYS, tuning washout, sweep, and dihedral to achieve optimal longitudinal and lateral damping.
Fixed-Wing Long-Range Platform V2 (Oct 2024 – Jan 2025)
Preliminary Design
Conceptualized a long-range fixed-wing UAV, designed for extended endurance. Airfoils were validated experimentally by using a homebuilt wind tunnel setup, shown on the right.
CAD
3D CAD modeling focused on structural layout and integration of avionics and payload, though the design could not be flown without a license.
Fixed-Wing Long-Range Platform V1 (Nov 2023 – Feb 2024)
Preliminary Design
Initial fixed-wing concept with aerodynamic optimization for endurance, balancing wing area, airfoil selection, and tail configuration.
CAD
CAD modeling of structural components and avionics layout, refining weight distribution and stability features for long-range flight.
