•
First month: Understand the aircraft configuration, build a baseline model with real data, and establish immediate test objectives
•
Three months: Create a fast feedback loop—models, logs, and hardware changes work in sync, driving smarter next steps and better prototypes
•
The output we care about: a better aircraft and a more insightful next test—not just a polished report
We care far more about what you’ve built than any credential or resume. When applying, please share details of aircraft modeling, simulation, or flight-test work you’ve done:
•
Examples of hands-on UAV projects, builds, or performance models
•
Aircraft sizing studies, simulation code, or flight-test plans you contributed to
•
Data analysis, CFD/FEA results, CAD files, or engineering documentation from past projects
Please submit links, files, photos, or write-ups of prior work—demonstrating your skills, approach, and what you’ve learned along the way. We want to see what you’ve tackled, built, and discovered first-hand.
We care more about agency, ownership, taste, and evidence that you can build than whether you match every bullet point. If you have worked on aircraft, drones, robots, vehicles, rockets, or other hard technical systems and want to help build something from the ground up, we want to hear from you.
