  • Designed a disc brake for an unmanned aerial vehicle using SolidWorks.• Carried out the thermal and structural analysis for the disc brake while landing.• Found the slippage caused in the wheel due to terrain changes.Tools Used: SolidWorks, and ANSYS WorkbenchProject Report: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgvxxr34wdkwwks/CVRDE%2BReport.pdf?dl=0 • Calculated the aerodynamic forces and distribution of the different parts of an air to air missile.• Designed a custom air to air missile for an aerial vehicle.• Found the coefficient of lift and drag for each part of the missile theoretically.• Using DATCOM, calculated the lift curve slope, drag curve slope, for the wings, tails, and the body separately.• Compared the two calculations and reached an optimum value for the coefficient.
