Case Study
Modular RC Aircraft Structural Design for Rapid Iteration
Designed modular wing and fuselage structures with manufacturability and assembly in mind to support fast iteration and repairability.
Problem
Large RC airframes must balance structural strength, weight, and manufacturability while remaining easy to assemble, modify, and repair during iterative development.
Role
CAD DesignerPersonal Project / Remote Collaboration • Jul–Dec 2024
Wing modeling, internal fuselage support design, and CAD-driven DFM/DFA decisions for modular airframe assemblies.
