Work History
Chief Manager-Analysis
RWR&DC, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.
07.2023 - Current
- Architected transmission deck design and tail-boom design of Medium Helicopter by optimizing cross-sections leading to 10% increase in natural frequencies above rotor frequency thereby reducing response on ground and avoiding in-flight instabilities
- Estimated sizing and stiffness of elastomeric bearings and load struts for Vibration Isolation System of Medium Helicopter which attained system transmissibility of 25%
- Designed sub-critical Tail Drive shaft of Medium helicopter using optimization module of MSC NASTRAN resulting in 20% weight savings
- Engineered groundbreaking solution by incorporating leaf springs to optimize Main drive flexible shaft for Medium Helicopter, meeting stringent high-speed engine output shaft requirements; successfully mitigated engine-gear box interactions
- Spearheaded design of Main and Tail Rotor blades using in-house codes and FEM for proper placement of structural modes with respect to blade harmonics which facilitated vibration reduction by 20% and 5% weight savings from preliminary design
- Validated Blade design using comprehensive tool-CAMRAD-II which predicted dynamic characteristics with 95% accuracy
- Guided dedicated team for preparing Preliminary Design Report on Dynamics of Medium helicopter project incorporating analysis of structure, rotor and transmission system
Senior Manager-Analysis
RWR&DC, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd
07.2019 - 06.2023
- Interacted and coordinated with flight crew, vendors and certification team to integrate new systems on attack helicopter based on FE analysis and test data analysis. This enabled in compressing system certification milestone by 2 months
- Led testing team for performing Ground vibration test on naval helicopter for successful integration of indigenous weapon and validated by flight testing
- Engineered structural changes to alter troublesome fuselage mode of Light Helicopter with minimal weight increase of 1% leading to reduction in crew seat vibrations by 20%
- Supervised framing of technical requirement specifications for LRUs environmental qualifications complying to military standards. This led to deployment of LRUs on various platforms without additional qualifications resulting in significant savings of 25% of LRU cost and 10% failure rate reduction
- Initiated and executed vibration qualification of fuel drop tanks by employing FEA fatigue module which resulted in significant cost savings and reducing testing time by 2 months.
Manager-Analysis
RWR&DC, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd

- Analyzed vibration survey data from helicopter flight tests; utilized MATLAB to analyze Ground and air resonance flight data for certification, achieving 95% accuracy compared to analytical predictions
- Estimated stretch contribution of control linkages and structural support parts of Flight control circuit of Trainer Jet aircraft matching to 95% of test values
- Collaborated with fixed wing design team to work out design modifications with least weight penalty of 10 kg and reducing stretch by 15%.
Deputy Manager-Analysis
RWR&DC, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd
07.2011 - 12.2014
- Established load path and evaluated structural modes of Attack Helicopter using Altair Hyperworks. Conceived local structural tuning with minimal weight penalty less than 0.5% for shifting fuselage mode resulting in 40% vibrations reductions of cockpit frames
- Designed and analyzed conceptual model of Passive rotor head absorber for light helicopter using composite spring which absorbs vibration at source by 60%
- Redesigned armament wing of attack helicopter leading to significant drag reduction of of 25% while meeting strength requirements for installation of various weapons
- Guided design and FE analysis of composite skis for landing gears of attack helicopter with minimum weight, stable design and optimum dynamic characteristics.
