We've had an incredible summer working with Nimisha Bompally, our talented Mechanical Engineering intern, on drone design, manufacturing, and testing. Nimisha excelled in every aspect of her role — from conducting thorough risk assessments to mastering carbon fibre layups. While we're sad to see her go, we're excited about the possibility of collaborating in the future. Wishing her all the best in her next chapter!
I’m thrilled to announce the completion of an amazing summer internship with Airspection, a leading company in providing reliable and safe drone services for hard-to-reach infrastructure. During this internship, I had the chance to dive deep into cutting-edge drone technology and mechanical engineering. My primary project involved designing and developing a custom motor mount, which led me to create a carbon fibre mount using 3D-printed moulds in the workshop. I also gained hands-on experience in: Performance testing calculation to optimize the drone's efficiency Integration of external component Conducting flight risk analysis to ensure safe operations Tackling and improving vibration issues for smoother performance Key highlight: Last week, we successfully conducted a flight test of the drone for endurance testing. I’m incredibly grateful to the Airspection team: Chris Fowler, Matthew McLean and Konstantinos Gkogkalatze.
