Aircraft Concept & Structure Design | Aerospace Engineer | UAV, VTOL

I am an experienced aircraft designer specializing in concept development and structural design. I bring projects from initial requirements through aerodynamic/stability calculations to a manufacturing-ready structure design. ✅ I provide aircraft design, supported by detailed FEA and CFD analyses, and deliver fully documented, manufacturable model ready for production. I graduated from the Polish Air Force Academy as an Aeronautical Engineer, specializing in Aircraft Design. My experience includes designing systems and components for experimental, homebuilt aircraft, and UAVs—many of which have been successfully tested in real flight conditions. I incorporate the latest tools and technologies to ensure optimized, high-performing designs. I verify structural calculations using FEA simulations and optimize aerodynamic performance through CFD/VLM software. I ensure design meets FAA and EASA safety standards following specific regulations. My approach uses proven design codes, supported by decades of successful aircraft. Working across multiple roles in line maintenance, manufacturing, and design, I’ve gained a broad understanding of the aircraft lifecycle. This insight allows me to identify potential issues early in the design process, preventing problems that can arise from critical, short-sighted decisions. As a glider pilot, I have a unique perspective on user needs. I believe that to design effectively, it is important to understand the aircraft from every perspective. "Knowing what to do, how to do it, and when to do it is key to a successful aircraft development program." In my career, I’ve gained deep expertise in the UAV industry. While at university, I worked as a UAV pilot on photogrammetry and inspection missions, flying various types of UAVs from DJI multicopters to custom fixed-wings and VTOLs. I'm licensed to perform both VLOS and BVLOS missions under EU Regulations 2019/947 and 2019/945. My experience as a pilot led me to become a UAV instructor, teaching students about EU aviation law, certification standards, and collaboration with Air Traffic Management. The UAV industry is a growing field in aviation, my experience allows me to intercorporate standard aviation with new technology. I think my experience, skills, and pursuit of perfection make me an ideal candidate for your project.
