As an Aerodynamics Engineer at Blue Force, I enhanced our air vehicle program’s aero database by developing new models in Fluent CFD. I generated data products for other subdisciplines, such as simulating dynamic fuel oscillation for GNC, which deepened my understanding of aircraft subsystem interactions. I improved the fidelity of a time-stepped performance code that provides fuel burn and mission capability data. Additionally, I refined and created Python and Matlab scripts to better visualize aircraft performance and operability. I presented these findings to the customer during a design review.
