Adarsh Kartik

• Designed a micro-turbojet engine with emphasis on component placement, airflow path, and basic thermodynamic principles.
• Developed CAD models and design specifications for various components of the engine
  Involved in the fabrication of various parts using CNC machines, lathe machines, and welding techniques.
• Helped in the assembly of various engine parts.
• Involved in initial testing and observation of the engine's performance.
• Got hands-on experience in propulsion systems and manufacturing techniques

Multidisciplinary projects in aerospace and mechanical engineering, including design, fabrication, CFD, and experimental work. Experience includes developing a weather payload using balloons, cowling for a jet engine including flow visualization, and bio-inspired aerodynamic simulations. Involved in structural and material analysis by using strain gauges and sophisticated filtering techniques, including heat transfer validation. Contributed to rocket nozzle fabrication, including aerothermodynamics analysis of ISRO's RLV. Involved in aircraft design projects, including developing functional systems such as auto-throttle, an ACARS prototype developed in Python, and a thrust reverser system.

Created CAD models for aircraft fuel tank using CATIA, performed meshing and simulation with LS-DYNA, focusing on lightweight design and safety features to minimize fuel leaks during structural damage and loss of aircraft control.

Collaborated with avionics team on model rocket project for ISRO Model Rocketry Competition 2024; developed technical documentation and performed calibration testing of individual sensors to validate avionics system.

• Led project planning sessions for model rocketry events and activities.
• Coordinated team meetings to discuss project milestones and deliverables.
• Managed timelines for multiple rocketry projects, ensuring timely execution.
