Ghulam Muhammad P.
Aerospace & UAV Engineer | Fixed-Wing, VTOL, CFD, CAD, Flight Testing
I am a Mechanical Engineer specializing in UAV and aerospace system design, analysis, prototyping, manufacturing, and flight testing, with extensive hands-on experience developing fixed-wing aircraft, VTOL UAVs, multirotors, and custom unmanned aerial systems. I can support a UAV project from the initial concept to a flight-ready prototype, including: • UAV conceptual and preliminary design • Fixed-wing, VTOL and multirotor configuration development • Aerodynamic and performance calculations • Aircraft sizing, weight estimation and propulsion selection • Static and dynamic stability analysis • CFD and aerodynamic analysis • Structural and FEA analysis • 3D CAD modeling and detailed mechanical design • Composite structures and carbon-fiber manufacturing • CNC mold, tooling and internal structure design • Flight-controller and avionics integration • X-Plane flight simulation and aircraft modeling • Ground testing, calibration and flight-test support • Manufacturing drawings, BOMs and technical documentation Software & Engineering Tools CAD & Manufacturing: SolidWorks, Fusion 360 CFD / FEA: ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS Mechanical Aircraft Design & Analysis: FLOW5, XFLR5, OpenVSP, AVL Simulation: X-Plane 11/12, MATLAB/Simulink Autopilot & GCS:ArduPilot, Mission Planner, QGroundControl Programming / Robotics:Python, ROS/ROS2 I have worked on UAV projects ranging from small electric aircraft to large gasoline-powered fixed-wing and VTOL platforms, including complete airframe, propulsion, avionics, composite structures, simulation and testing. My engineering background includes a BE in Mechanical Engineering from NUST, along with extensive practical experience in UAV development, prototyping and multidisciplinary aerospace projects. What I Can Deliver I can provide anything from an individual engineering calculation or CAD model to a complete UAV development package, including: Concept → Design → Analysis → CAD → CFD/FEA → Manufacturing → Avionics Integration → Simulation → Ground Testing → Flight Testing For complete UAV projects, I can also assist with prototype manufacturing, composite fabrication, CNC tooling, procurement, assembly procedures and testing documentation. If you have a UAV concept, performance requirement, existing design or engineering problem, send me the requirements and I can help determine the most practical engineering approach.
