WATFlight.
A University of Waterloo student design team building the future of flight — cleaner, more efficient aircraft that prove autonomy and sustainability can share the same airframe. I'm on the Mechanical team.

The Mechanical team turns an autonomous glider concept into a flight-ready aircraft. We develop the airframe, aerodynamic surfaces, and lightweight structures, then validate each design through manufacturing and ground testing.
Airframe
Lightweight primary structure built to survive flight loads while keeping every gram accounted for.
Aerodynamics
Aerodynamic surfaces designed and iterated against the aircraft's autonomous-glider mission profile.
Fabrication
Turning CAD into a real airframe — layup, machining, and assembly of flight-ready parts.
