Interactive Motion Art for Active Territory

I was asked to put together a motion-based interactive for Active Territory, a design show for graduating design students at the University of the Arts. The piece welcomed everyone into the show as it was projected onto the ground by the entrance.


And a few pictures from that evening...





Commercial Supersonic Transport (SST)

This project was the design of a SST for the 2030 to 2040 time frame. I worked on engine design, which was based on material advances planned to be available during the time period. I calculated performance, thrust, fuel consumption, and designed the necessary intakes with supersonic inlets inspired by the XB-70 and SR-71. Extensively using Matlab, I formulated a flight regime that would permit a theoretical 9000 nautical mile range and Mach 2 cruise capabilities. This six person team finally presented the designs to the professor and class.
