CSIR- National Aerospace Laboratories
Mechanical Design Engineer (Dec 2019-Jan 2020)
National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), is India's first & largest aerospace firm. As a part of their Mechanical team, I developed and designed a component for the Micro Air Vehicle win tunnel, that is used to hold an object (under aerodynamic study) in place during wind tunnel testing

The given problem entailed designing a Hub attachment for holding a particular object in place during the wind tunnel testing at MART Facility in CSIR-NAL. This Hub attachment would be connected to a 6 component Sensor (a device that is used to measure forces). The purpose of this attachment is to hold the rod firmly in place during the experiment and at the same time be light enough to not interfere with the experimental readings.
​
The attachment Designed and manufactured was successfully able to hold the rod under study during the experiment. In addition to designing the component, aerodynamic study of the cylindrical rod was conducted and various values such as the Velocity, Reynolds number of air and the force and frequency of vibration experienced by
the rod were determined theoretically and compared with the experimental values.
And lastly a new concept was designed that could hold various diameter rods.
