Preparing for summer 2014 @NASA Ames




As I prepare for another fun and challenging summer of full time work @NASA, I wanted to look back at the projects I completed last summer - just in anticipation for another crazy few months ahead!




 Tilt Rotor Test Rig 


TTR Calibration Body, which I drafted in Creo and 3D printed


 Tiltrotor Test Rig Forward Frame - site visit at Kern Steel in Bakersfield, CA

THE Tiltrotor itself!



                 
 The project I am most proud of: Optimization of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
 

 This is a screenshot of one of my first CFD runs- for the wind turbine using the software: RotCFD








These are more details behind the work that went in before we began testing

       

Flying in the Vertical Motion Simulator



Arduino + Lego fun
