- Implemented a new potentiometer, resulting in a significant increase in data sample size, thereby enhancing precision and accuracy during data collection processes.
- Developed and analyzed gear ratios as part of the initial design phase, ensuring optimal performance and functionality.
- Extended the arm to create a dedicated attachment point for the string potentiometer (String Pot), facilitating precise measurement and data acquisition.
- Conducted comprehensive motion analysis using SolidWorks to validate the displacement of the string pot attachment, ensuring alignment with design specifications.
- Designed a practical component with minimized backlash and improved mounting efficiency, resulting in over 50% reduction in backlash and a 30% increase in mounting efficiency for enhanced overall performance and durability of the instrumentation device.
- Designed and implemented a robust testing protocol, including multimeter and oscilloscope tests, to validate functionality and performance, demonstrating consistent voltage readings and accurate response to rudder pedal deflection.
- Assisted in data collection for aerospace research projects.
- Supported team members in conducting experimental procedures and analysis.
