One of the most important aspects of starting any project is to ensure that you have the scope, breadth, purpose and principle of the project clear. You see, as you work on a project, hindsight is 20-20, but, budgets, constraints, space in the actual craft and in facilities…

    So I made another aircraft! This time around, the focus was on creating an aircraft that able to lift up to 150lbs with a constant TAS of 85m/s. Additionally, I wanted to ensure that it is something everyone, anyone and whoever can use for studying specific fluid mechanics and physical phenomenon related to lift, stress…

While seemingly obvious and evident, the rampant adoption and integration of Artificial Intelligence, the underlying machine learning and deep learning technologies as well as the developer and computer scientists…

    Of all the things that can get you clout on the internet, funnily, a piano piece called Rush E might be your best chance at “Dank” infamy. The fact that Tide Pods were even considered is sad. Either way, as a Tabla Player of 18 years, I have had my fair share of musical acquaintances…

    The fascination of flight is truly amazing. Ever since I was a child I remember looking out the window every time a helicopter buzz was heard or an airplane flew by. It was fascinating, almost charming, to be transported to into a fantastical land, to see something fly, soaring above my head. Flight has amused…

    When I was 13, my father’s cancer had worsened. He used to be in pain the whole day and sleeping had become a particularly troublesome issue. Throughout the night, he would keep gasping or letting out little squeaks as the pain became extremely unbearable for him. Over time, his control over his reactions reduced, and…

    Over the years, there have been extremely drastic improvements in computing, until the invention of the highly integrated processors we see today. The SoC, or the system on chip has dramatically changed the computing landscape with highly integrated systems and architectures, making it increasingly centralized, within a footprint of about 4x4milimeters. The world has since…

    In the past 2 months, the Mach2.5 project has gone from just some render on Fusion 360 and Shapr3D along with paper sketches, to a full fledged group project, with 3 people including myself working on different systems of the craft with one single goal; reaching Mach 2.5. Tayson Neely, a student at the University…

    Since the large debacle of what to name the aircraft, I have been thinking about the rationality, conventions, methodology , logic and semantics behind the naming things and the significance of the human condition. It truly is a wonderful endeavor to name your aircraft. More so if all your mental bandwidth is being used up…
