Aerospace Laboratory I

University of Washington Seattle, WA

January 2023 - March 2023

Essential responsibilities:

• Investigated drag on various objects in a wind tunnel to understand its relationship with Reynolds number, finding that drag coefficient decreases consistently as Reynolds number increases, with implications for sports ball design, despite minor errors.

Propeller Performance
