Serving as an Undergraduate study for New Mexico State University, I was offered the opportunity to work on this project. This project entails the fabrication, design and implementation of new testing methods on a flight system. The end goal of the project was to produce accurate testing methods for internal parts of a 10 degree of attack cone. This project started in May of 2023 and had not been fully fleshed out in process or methods. I was hired on as a liaison between our Aggie Innovation Space and the testing shop. I took the work done previously by my peers and applied myself to making the system we wanted to test manufacturable. This was done by working with the fabricators in the innovation space. This required 5 renditions of the design, each one closer to the shape, size, and dimensions needed. The original system was around 6 inches longer than the next renditions. This system was also originally un-manufacturable, as the parts were too complex to be logically fabricated from as CNC or Lathe. The original image shows the complexity of the system. the reference image can be seen as (Original Cone).
