Aircraft Design & Development

I design and build scale aircraft models to gain hands-on experience

in aerodynamics, structural design, and aircraft manufacturing. Each

project follows the full development process—from CAD modeling

and structural layout to prototyping and flight testing.

My work focuses on CAD-based aircraft development and rapid

prototyping as I continue building the knowledge and experience

required to design full-scale aircraft.
