KC Engineering / Work

Selected projects.

Representative projects in aerospace testing, machine learning and controls. Many programs are not listed publicly.

Testing · High-speed flight vehicle development

Subsonic wind-tunnel testing for a high-speed flight vehicle

A multi-entry subsonic test campaign on a scaled vehicle model for Hermeus.

Testing · Aircraft stability and control

Wind-tunnel tests of an F-16 with its vertical tail replaced by a rotating horizontal tail.

ML and data · Ocean renewables, wave energy

A PyTorch and Streamlit tool that predicts wave height seconds ahead from upstream sensors, for Atargis Energy.

Testing · Controls · Aeroelasticity

A test method that feeds simulated flight loads to a wing held in the wind tunnel.

ML and data · Controls · Reduced-order modeling and control

Small, data-based models of unsteady flow that a feedback controller can use.

Testing · ML and data · Directed energy

Models and feedback control to reduce beam distortion caused by turbulent shear layers and wakes.

Testing · Controls · Ocean renewables, wave energy

Hydrodynamics and control of a rotor that absorbs wave energy, with Atargis Energy.

Most of our active work is under restricted distribution, but we can usually discuss approach and experience.
