Steven Kim’s Aerospace Hardware Portfolio

Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A personal engineering portfolio covering rotating detonation engine simulation, physics-based RC aircraft design software, and embedded thermal-vision hardware.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The portfolio connects numerical models to fabricated hardware. Its aircraft tool reportedly combines ISA atmosphere calculations, NeuralFoil polars, spanwise stability analysis, and CadQuery/OpenCASCADE geometry generation, including captive-pin hinges and named STEP bodies. The propulsion study documents a hydrogen rotating-detonation simulation with adaptive mesh refinement and periodic boundaries, while explicitly noting that it lacks velocity comparison and grid convergence. Repository links are provided for several projects.
