MIT Wind Tunnel Avionics Tube Mount
MIT Wind Tunnel Avionics Tube Mount
Purpose:
I alongside another mechanical engineer on Olin's Rocketry team designed, analyzed, and fabricated a lightweight, aerodynamic mount to attach a dummy avionics tube of our rocket to the mounting strut inside the MIT Wright Brother's Wind Tunnel.
I designed the CAD of the mount and aided in creating the gcode to fabricate the mount using a Tormach CNC mill machine through Solidworks CAM.
