Green Propulsion Aircraft

Collaborated with a team to develop the aerodynamic profile of an experimental green propulsion short-haul cargo aircraft, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2035, utilizing both conventional and electric propulsion systems

Developed Python code using analytical aircraft design equations to calculate lift, drag, and moment coefficients for a preliminary wing design and validated code results using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

Drafted a full aircraft model in SolidWorks, addressing the need for a detailed design representation to support analysis

Optimized the weight and balance of the engine, electric motors, batteries, and cargo payload to address aerodynamic stability requirements, ensuring the aircraft met performance objectives
