Hello everyone, welcome to my final blog!
Since I did not take a spring break throughout my internship, I finished a week early! I feel like I have learned a lot over these last few months in the topics of engineering, aerodynamics, and more. Although I have not finished the final design, I have made significant progress for somebody else to continue the project down the line. I look forward to presenting my findings and my paper this upcoming weekend at the Senior Project Showcase!
For this project, I would like to give a special thanks to Dr. James Threadgill, Dr. Sathyan Padmanabhan, and Mr. Max Vitols. They were the ones who helped me with everything over the last two months, from learning aerodynamics to engineering the mechanism. Lastly, I would like to thank my readers who have stuck along this whole time!
For the final airplane of the week, I saved the best for last. Have fun reading about the legendary SR-71 Blackbird with the article below!
Until next time,
Thomas
