Drone & Rocketry Competitions — Emirates Aviation University
Placed 1st in a team drone-building challenge tuning flight stability in BetaFlight, and 4th in a water rocket challenge balancing centre of mass against centre of pressure.
I competed in two engineering competitions at Emirates Aviation University in Dubai.
In the team drone-building challenge I programmed the drone using a gyroscope and BetaFlight, tuning the flight stability. The team placed 1st.
In the water rocket challenge I was responsible for balancing the rocket's centre of mass against its centre of pressure to keep the flight stable — the same stability-margin principle I would later apply properly on TNO. The team placed 4th.
