REAPER

I’ve upgraded my setup from an NYC basement to my college bathroom.

Between my classes and coursework, I’ve been working with Tomas Salvo on his world-record 500+ mph Reaper UAV. The aircraft design and original fabrication are his work entirely. I’m now helping to produce multiple airframes for further testing & development.

After machining and prepping the molds in early September, I’ve produced a full set of composite skins through carbon fiber layups and vacuum infusions between my balcony and bathroom.

I’ll be creating 7 more airframes by EOY.
