One-to-one and small-group tuition in aerodynamics and simulation — taught by Hrishikesh Lahudkar, an Aerospace MSc student and contributor to Team Vayuputras’ 7th-ranked design report at AIAA Design/Build/Fly 2024. From first principles to running your own ANSYS and Abaqus studies.
Each module moves from the underlying theory to hands-on, software-based practice on genuine aircraft problems — a workflow grounded in aircraft design and analysis. Detailed syllabuses and start dates are being finalised. Fees shown are proposed; confirm availability and final terms by enquiry.
Set up, solve and interpret fluid simulations the right way — meshing strategy, boundary conditions, turbulence model selection, convergence and post-processing pressure & velocity fields with engineering judgement.
Predict how a structure behaves under load. Build sound models, apply realistic loads and constraints, read stress and displacement results, and verify structural integrity and safety factors with confidence.
Make defensible design decisions. Learn to rank competing parameters and concepts using multi-criteria decision-making and sensitivity studies, so you know which variables actually drive performance.
The fundamentals that everything else rests on. Airfoil selection, lift and drag, angle of attack, aspect ratio and Cl/Cd optimisation — taught through XFLR5 and applied to real wing design.
Animated aerodynamic readouts are illustrative, not simulation results.
Competing in AIAA Design/Build/Fly, the IMechE UAS Challenge or a similar event? I've been on the flight line in Wichita and helped author a top-10 design report worldwide. I work alongside your team to sharpen the design, the analysis and — crucially — the report that scores the points.
Structure, technical depth and presentation that scores — informed by a 7th-place report.
A second set of expert eyes on your simulations, assumptions and validation before submission.
TOPSIS / AHP-driven concept selection and sensitivity analysis to justify every choice.
Lessons from real competition logistics, scoring and the inevitable on-site problem-solving.

Aerospace MSc student with hands-on aircraft design, CFD and FEA experience, plus an industry background in precision manufacturing and process optimisation (Lean Six Sigma, AS9100). DGCA-certified remote pilot. I teach the way I learned to work: theory first, then real software on real problems.
Advanced Aerodynamics, Advanced FEA, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Rotary Wing Aircraft, Aerospace Structures, Design Optimisation.
Team design report score: 89.43, ranked 7th by report score. My work covered sensitivity analysis, airfoil selection, stability analysis, manufacturing and flight testing. The team finished 72nd overall.
Applied DMAIC, time studies and process improvement methods to aerospace manufacturing. The report projected a lead-time reduction from 42 to 28 days and a cycle-time reduction from 8.8 to 6.5 days.
Completed RPAS training and obtained a remote pilot certificate for small rotorcraft, VLOS operations.
