Variable Stability Aircraft Design & Development
Variable Stability Aircraft (UAV): A 40Kg class unmanned aircraft capable of changing its geometry online while flying. It has a variable sweep angle, variable tail to CG distance, retractable and steerable landing gears, burstable fuselage, all movable tails, blended body, etc. It was an assembly of more than 800 custom designed parts. The most critical part of the project was to have so many mechanisms and movable part and yet it should be light enough to fly and therefore required use of innovative methods to meet all the objectives and constraints.
Sobre Mim
I am a mechanical engineer with a dedicated team of mechanical, electronics hardware and software engineers with 9 international papers and 5 patents. We specialize in custom industrial and commercial machine/product design, development & fabrication. We do concept design, 3D modeling, hardware design, PCB design, microcontroller (Arduino) programming, PLC & sensor instrumentation of specialized products & machines. We also do various analysis like stress (FEM), dynamic analysis, CFD, circuit simulations, etc apart from conducting experimental research & development. We also have inhouse prototyping and manufacturing facility including 3D printing i.e. SLA and SLS in 3 different polymers, vacuum casting for a range of polymers and aluminum, CNC milling and turning, etc. PCB printing, hardware assembly, product integration & testing is also available.
