About

I’m Qusai Al-Abbadi, a final-year Mechanical Engineering student at Al Hussein Technical University (HTU) driven by one question: how far can we push lightweight machines when hardware, code, and creativity work in sync? My work spans UAV design, FPV racing, rapid fabrication, and hands-on robotics—all geared toward turning ideas into reliable systems that fly, print, grab, or glide. 🚀 Highlights in the sky Autonomous S500 quad — Pixhawk 4 + ArduPilot, fully hands-off take-off ↔ precision landing. 3D-printed V-tail glider — 1st in flight-time, 2nd in design at the UTA Additive Aircraft Challenge; showcased at SOFEX 2024. Team Jordan pilot for the FAI Riyadh Drone Racing World Cup 2025. MACH-1 organiser & mentor: Jordan’s first national FPV league (50+ pilots). 🛠️ Ground-breaking builds CNC Direct-Ink-Writing plotter that prints PCB traces—cutting board turnaround from days to hours. VTOL rocket stabiliser — Arduino-Due PID loops + servo fins, 2nd place at HTU Mechatronics Expo. 60 mm mortar drop module & AI camera gimbal for S500 platforms; both < 120 g, swap in < 30 s. 3-DOF RC robotic arm — laser-cut MDF links, ±2 mm repeatability on 100 g loads. 📜 Credentials FAA Part 107 Small UAS Recurrent (2022) FAA sUAS Safety & Risk Mitigation (2024) I believe engineering is impact: whether it’s a safer drone recovery or a workshop that turns newcomers into skilled pilots. If you’re working on UAVs, maker-space education, or rapid-prototyping tools, let’s connect. You’ll usually find me between the CAD screen, the print bed, and the flight line pushing the limits of what a student-built machine can do.

Key Responsibilities & Achievements: 1-Led a cross-functional crew of 10 students (mechanical, electrical, and software) to design, build, and flight-test fixed-wing and multirotor UAV prototypes for campus events and national competitions. 2-Introduced a “design–print–fly” rapid-iteration pipeline: SolidWorks → FDM 3-D printing → bench validation → field test; cut airframe turnaround from two weeks to four days. 3-Spearheaded safety and maintenance SOPs (pre-flight checklists, battery logs, prop balancing) that delivered a zero-crash record across 40+ training sorties. 4-Co-organised and mentored pilots for MACH-1, Jordan’s first FPV drone-racing league—training 50+ participants on build basics, Betaflight tuning, and flight etiquette. 5-Managed the lab’s inventory of motors, ESCs, batteries, and radio gear. 6-Delivered hands-on workshops for first-year students on PX4/ArduPilot setup, PID tuning, and RF link optimisation, boosting AeroSquad membership by 35 %.
