Projects

Stability and Control Analysis Of Flight

Performed an in-depth stability and control analysis of a fixed-wing aircraft, evaluating both longitudinal (pitch) and

lateral-directional (roll and yaw) stability characteristics.

Utilized aerospace software tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and XFLR5 to simulate flight behavior under varying

aerodynamic and atmospheric conditions.

Developed dynamic models incorporating aircraft geometry, center of gravity, and aerodynamic coefficients to predict

trim conditions and stability margins.

Interpreted eigenvalue plots and response curves to identify potential instabilities and recommended control surface

adjustments for improved flight performance.

Contributed to enhancing flight safety and maneuverability through theoretical modeling and numerical simulations.

Investigation and Fabrication of Jute Fibre Reinforced Composite for Aerospace A

Investigated the mechanical behavior and material properties of Jute Fibre Reinforced Polymer (JFRP) composites as

sustainable alternatives for aerospace structural components.

Designed and fabricated composite specimens using hand lay-up and compression molding techniques, optimizing

fiber orientation and resin content for mechanical performance.

Performed mechanical testing including tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance to benchmark

performance against conventional composite materials.

Analyzed data to assess the viability of jute fibers in terms of strength-to-weight ratio, durability, cost effectiveness,

and environmental sustainability.

Explored potential use cases such as aircraft interior panels, UAV structural components, and secondary aerospace

parts, aligning with industry goals of greener aviation.

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Drone Defense System : Designed, developed, and prototyped a compact Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)-based counter-drone system, drawing

inspiration from the tactical use of drones in the Russo-Ukraine conflict.

Engineered a miniaturized EMP generator capable of emitting high-intensity pulses aimed at disrupting or disabling

electronic circuitry within small UAVs.

Focused on optimizing power efficiency and directional pulse targeting to ensure the system's suitability for defense,

critical infrastructure protection, and high-security zones.

Conducted field testing and system validation under controlled environments to assess effectiveness in neutralizing

off-the-shelf quadcopters and custom UAV platforms.

Explored shielding countermeasures and safe integration with existing surveillance systems to enable real time threat

response.
