This week, our team made significant progress toward advancing our wind tunnel testing methods. We toured Dr. Ukeiley’s wind tunnel lab, where we explored various flow imaging techniques and brainstormed ideas to scale the wind tunnel for our desired testing. With safety training at the Herbert Wertheim Laboratory completed, we’re now fully cleared to work in the lab. Additionally, we designed a concept model using SolidWorks and prepared a presentation for our meeting with liaison engineers. Next week, we’ll coordinate IPPD lab access, attend an event with GE Aerospace, and begin our preliminary design review. We’re also developing our project roadmap to keep everything on schedule.

Looking ahead, we’re working closely with the liaison engineers to finalize dates for site visits and receive approval for our preliminary designs. With everything on track, we’re excited to dive deeper into testing and refinement in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
