Thrust-vectoring assembly

Thrust-Vector EDF Platform
June 2026 – August 2026
An experimental electric ducted-fan platform built to explore active stabilization and thrust-vector control.
I designed and built an experimental platform that uses four servo-controlled flaps to redirect thrust from an 80 mm electric ducted fan. An ESP32-based PID controller uses MPU6050 orientation data, and I refined the control mapping, sensor orientation, and PID tuning through iterative testing.
