Summer Internship Training (Offline) - Aerotern, Zeigler Aerospace, Hyderabad, 06/22 - 07/22, It enhanced my skills in designing softwares like AutoCAD, CATIA. Also got the opportunity to assist in some designing based projects. Was given a project to 3D print a prototype of an aircraft, for which a blended body design was selected, designed using parametric tools, and printed. Layout of Passenger Accommodations (LOPA) analysis and seating plan modifications were experimented in Boeing 737 model aircraft using AutoCAD.
