Vehicle Structure Design

My Role

  • • Designed and fabricated a scaled wooden model for prediction of full scale sonar pod.
  • • Characterized drag and lift coefficient with respect to Reynolds number in a wind tunnel.
  • • Performed dimensional analysis to predict the required drag force a full scale sonar pod with identical relative geometry.
