The Race to Mach 2.3
Thomas C -
Hey there everyone! Welcome back!
Sorry for the late blog post. This last week was chill but important for what we planned to do next. We focused on installing a newer version of SolidWorks on the computer that I work (before I was borrowing somebody else’s laptop) on so that I can access the CAD assembly of the wind tunnel. After spending the whole week trying to install it and having to work with campus the IT department, we finally got working on Friday.
I cannot wait to use this to create an actual CAD model of the refined mechanism, especially after learning that McMaster has a method to import CAD renderings of their products into SolidWorks assemblies. If all goes well, I will have an exciting update this Friday!
As usual, the airplane of the week is the North American F-100D Super Sabre. Have a look at the article below!
Until next time,
-Thomas
