Blimp

• Designed and flew a helium blimp that we launched through the engineering building during exam season to boost morale.

  • Designed and fabricated a custom lightweight envelope sized for lift margin with payload (electronics gondola ).

  • Built an Arduino-based control system to drive propulsion/steering thrusters, enabling controllable indoor flight.

  • Carried a suspicious number of helium canisters on the street car from party city
