  • Took a lead role in designing and developing a CAD-modeled pylon mechanism, focused on enabling faster and more efficient detachment and attachment of the aircraft’s engine model. Played a key part in ensuring the system balanced structural integrity with operational speed. The finalized aircraft will enter a national competition against universities across the United States, where it will be evaluated on strength, durability, efficiency of disassembly and reassembly procedures, and, finally, its overall performance in flight..
