AJAS · 2022
Engineering
The most theoretically efficient airplane design is the flying wing due to its simplicity, resulting in low weight and low drag compared to more conventional configurations. However, a perfe…

Engineering
The goal of this project was to develop a low-cost spectrometer suitable for demonstration experiments and educational programs. The price point of about $50, easy to source components, and…

Engineering
This project examines if an object supported by a wing structure filled with hexagons will be more mass efficient than solid filled support structure. Aircraft are a large source of greenhou…
Engineering (inferred)
Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) are a phenomenon where the fluid flow causes oscillations against an object called a bluff body by vortex shedding. This phenomenon has recently been studied…
Engineering (inferred)
Physical winglets offer widespread lift to drag force improvement for commercial and cargo aircraft; unfortunately, their improvements cannot be applied to fighter or short take-off and land…

All Choked Up: The Effect of the Convergent Section Half-Angle on the Thrust of a Cold Gas Rocket continues my investigation of cold gas rocket nozzles. Rockets and Nozzles and Thrusts, OH M…
Engineering (inferred)
The empennage, or tail, of an aircraft plays a vital role in aircraft structure and function. Four forces act upon each part of an aircraft: lift, drag, weight, and thrust, with lift and dra…
Engineering (inferred)
The purpose of this project was to see if using a frontward pulling propellor gives the multirotor a higher velocity than the multirotor altering its pitch or yaw to achieve movement in a gi…
Engineering (inferred)
The problem of excessive exposure to aircraft noise has persisted since the dawn of aviation. The Federal Aviation Administration’s regulations thus require airplanes to make detours in orde…
