Sep 2018 - Sep 2020
Subject Matter Expert for Unmanned Aerial Systems. Helped start a UAV division at Kalyani Center for Technological Innovation by working on two major military UAS projects. Project 1: Provided complete design for a fixed wing UAS with very short take-off for long range and endurance (IP rights still owned by me). Guided through its complete analysis, manufacture and flight tests. Initial desired results were obtained on the very first prototype. This system was showcased at Aero-India, Bangalore in 2019 and Defence Expo, Lucknow in 2020. Project 2: Built a heavy lift multirotor system capable of carrying upto 90 kg of payload and flight tested for a payload of 70 kgs. This system was showcased at Defence Expo, Lucknow in 2020.

This internship aided in the completion of the Bachelor Project titled "Design, Analysis, Fabrication, and Flight Testing of a STOL UAV." During this time, required skills and expertise in design, 3D modelling, aircraft structures and loads, composite fabrication, and so on were acquired. In addition, I learned the software skills needed to design and build the UAV. Catia 3D modelling software, as well as Patran and Nastran analysis software, were all learned and used.
