Atoms to Aircraft
This project integrates multi-scale computational and experimental approaches to develop high-rate, cost-effective manufacturing of fastener-free thermoplastic composite structures, validated through the design and production of two urban air mobility aerospace demonstrators.
Innovative Manufacturing, Operation, and Certification of Advanced Structures for Civil Vertical Lift Vehicles
This project develops a comprehensive framework that integrates computational modeling and experimental validation to address the structural challenges of next-generation vertical lift vehicles. Focusing on safety, cost, and operational efficiency, the work enables predictive maintenance, streamlined repair strategies, and informed design decisions for electric and hybrid-electric aircraft systems. The approach supports scalable, certifiable solutions tailored to emerging civilian air mobility applications.
