During my time as a researcher and aerospace enthusiast, I took on the ambitious project of designing and manufacturing a homemade STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Drawing inspiration from existing designs like the Zenith STOL series, I engineered a two-seat, high-wing aircraft tailored for short-field performance, capable of takeoffs and landings on unprepared or rough airstrips. The aircraft was built with an all-metal construction, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance. I focused on enhancing aerodynamic efficiency and flight stability, incorporating full-length flaperons and an all-flying rudder for superior control, especially during low-speed operations. My design featured short takeoff and landing distances, ideal for off-airport operations, and was powered by a versatile engine suitable for this type of rugged aircraft. This project gave me the opportunity to apply advanced principles in aerodynamics, aircraft structures, and engine integration. I managed the entire process from the initial conceptual design, 3D modeling, and component fabrication to the final assembly and flight testing of the aircraft. The success of the project demonstrated my capabilities in both the design and hands-on manufacturing aspects of aviation. The aircraft not only performed exceptionally well in real-world conditions but also strengthened my knowledge of STOL aircraft design, providing me with critical insights into experimental aircraft manufacturing and homebuilding techniques.

As part of my focus on aircraft design and manufacturing, I led the design and development of a propeller duplication machine, specifically engineered to replicate wooden aircraft propellers with precision. This project was inspired by existing technologies like the Gemini Propeller Carving Duplicator, but I customized the system to meet the unique requirements of our workshop and aircraft manufacturing process. The machine featured a rigid carving mechanism capable of producing accurate and consistent propeller designs for various fixed-wing aircraft. I integrated an alignment system for precise positioning, which allowed for exact replication of propeller profiles with minimal error. This system supported the efficient manufacturing of custom propellers, which are essential for aircraft restoration, prototype builds, and performance optimization. In addition to the mechanical design, I was responsible for overseeing the entire manufacturing process, from sourcing materials to assembly and calibration of the machine. This project not only enhanced my skills in machinery design and aerospace manufacturing, but it also allowed our team to produce high-quality propellers in-house, reducing costs and improving production timelines.

During my graduate studies in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Tehran, I focused on the development of RC fixed-wing UAVs, advancing both the theoretical and practical aspects of aerodynamic design and flight performance. My work centered on creating lightweight, high-performance aircraft capable of executing complex missions in a variety of environments. I played a key role in the end-to-end design process, overseeing everything from conceptual design and computational modeling to prototype fabrication and flight testing. These UAVs were optimized for aerodynamic efficiency, featuring an innovative wing structure to reduce drag and improve maneuverability in challenging conditions. One of the highlights of my work was the integration of cutting-edge autopilot technology, allowing for autonomous flight capabilities and real-time data acquisition. These systems were designed to meet the growing demands for precision navigation and data-driven operations in UAV applications, including remote sensing, surveying, and environmental monitoring. My research not only contributed to advancing fixed-wing UAV technology but also provided valuable insights into the potential for sustainable and efficient aircraft designs for future aerospace applications.

During my undergraduate studies in Chemical Engineering, I designed and built several RC fixed-wing planes aimed at enhancing my knowledge of aircraft design. These planes were developed with an emphasis on aerodynamics and flight stability, featuring a streamlined fuselage and optimized wing design to improve lift and reduce drag. This project provided an opportunity to apply key principles of aerodynamics, fixed-wing dynamics, and control systems. I managed the entire design process—from initial concept development to fabrication and rigorous flight testing. The planes were equipped with advanced autopilot systems, ensuring stable flight control and precise navigation, making them suitable for various applications. The experience significantly deepened my understanding of fixed-wing UAV systems, including wing aerodynamics, electrical wiring for control systems, and sensor integration for data collection. Additionally, I gained valuable hands-on experience in manufacturing, utilizing techniques such as laser cutting and metal machining to create lightweight components, and conducted extensive flight tests to validate performance.

During my undergraduate studies in Chemical Engineering, I designed and built a helicopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tailored for urban environments in our city. The UAV featured a compact rotorcraft design, enabling vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), making it ideal for navigating confined spaces and areas with limited infrastructure. This project allowed me to apply key principles of aerodynamics, rotorcraft dynamics, and control systems. I led the entire design process—from concept development and 3D modeling to fabrication and testing. The UAV was equipped with an autopilot system for stable flight control and real-time data transmission, making it suitable for applications such as aerial surveillance, mapping, and urban monitoring. This experience deepened my understanding of helicopter UAV systems, including rotor mechanics, electrical wiring, and sensor integration, and provided me with hands-on experience in manufacturing and flight testing.
