My contributions to FVR-90 includes: 

• Designed mounting & heat dissipation system for the drone's radio – enabling full power operation in both 140°F+ static air environments and in flight, optimized through CFD & FEA. Performed thermal validation with computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations in parallel with finite element analysis (FEA) thermal conduction simulations.

• Designed an RF transparent NACA airfoil antenna cover, optimized drag through CFD simulation and RF performance through anechoic chamber testing with the RF engineering team.

• Designed the Ground Antenna Station to interface between the ground control station and the radio communicating with the bird, with active convective cooling.
