FlightStream: F-16 Aerodynamic Modeling
Surface-panel aerodynamic model and derivative extraction for an F-16 baseline using FlightStream
Surface-panel aerodynamic model and derivative extraction for an F-16 baseline using FlightStream
Developed and implemented two computational aerodynamics solvers: a 2D potential flow panel method for airfoil analysis and a lifting-line theory model for finite wings. These tools analyze aerodynamic coefficients, pressure distributions, and spanwise lift distributions.
Contributed to a rapid-prototyping project to build a low-cost, 15-lb VTOL drone. My role involved SolidWorks design for the tail, materials testing (PLA Aero, PETG), and 3D printing of structural components.
Developed a Python tool to automatically parse flight datalogs and generate a self-contained, interactive HTML dashboard. Features include cursor-linked plots, a live attitude indicator, and a flight path map for rapid analysis.
Engineered a custom Python GUI to provide real-time visualization of streaming flight data, enabling live system monitoring and post-flight analysis of large datasets.
