Problem

Final project required a complex mechanical design. I chose to build a cyclocopter UAV a novel rotorcraft concept - consisting of 400+ parts and 60+ unique components.

Solution

Designed a four-rotor cyclocopter in SolidWorks with pitch-adjustable carbon fiber blades and an offset linkage enabling asymmetric blade pitching for lift and thrust vectoring. Managed a large-scale assembly and rendered the design in SolidWorks Visualize for professional presentation.

Impact

Delivered a fully detailed cyclocopter UAV assembly that demonstrated advanced CAD skills, aerodynamic functionality, and the ability to manage and present large, complex mechanical systems.
