Aerospace engineer. Through AE Aero, I help companies, founders and aviation enthusiasts assess aircraft ideas and turn them into practical engineering studies.
01 — About
Have an idea for a UAV, flying car, rotorcraft or another aircraft? I help find out whether it can work and what the next engineering steps should be. Some ideas turn out to be practical and some do not. The aim is to learn that early and honestly.
I am an aerospace engineer with about seven years of cumulative experience across industry, aircraft design projects and research. At Turkish Aerospace I worked on hydraulic and pneumatic power systems for TF-X/KAAN. I have also contributed to HÜRJET flight-test activities, and my team designed, built and flew the Bumin UAV. I check ideas against physical principles and analytical calculations, and I use AI tools to support that work, not to replace it.
I also do engineering-expert contract work in AI evaluation: benchmarks, verified reference solutions and evaluation criteria that test physical and numerical reasoning.
02 — Services
Early-stage and specialist engineering support for companies, founders, small teams and aviation enthusiasts. Studies and analyses support engineering decisions. They are not aircraft certification.
03 — Selected projects
My own role is stated for each project. Team work is described as team work.
I led multidisciplinary design teams that developed original flying-car concepts and the engineering studies behind them.
Our team designed, built and flew the Bumin UAV through the MGP11 program. My work covered aerodynamics, performance, master geometry and manufacturing support.
I contributed to simulator tests, engine runs, taxi tests and first-flight preparation, including test planning and data analysis.
At Turkish Aerospace I worked on hydraulic and pneumatic power systems: architecture, sizing, thermal and performance analysis, simulation and verification.
Conceptual design and engineering analysis of a high-speed compound helicopter.
MSc research at Istanbul Technical University on modelling an aircraft hydraulic booster and energy storage in Siemens AMESim.
04 — Experience
Separate contracts with each company: engineering benchmarks, verified reference solutions, evaluation criteria and assessment of AI engineering reasoning.
TF-X/KAAN hydraulic and pneumatic power systems: architecture, sizing, thermal and performance analysis, simulation and verification.
Led multidisciplinary flying-car design teams. The portfolio also includes a small UAV built and flown with my team, a compound helicopter concept and a business-jet concept.
AirCar prototype support, Aytok filtration R&D, KNECT technology research and fundraising, and an Erasmus internship at F3 Design Studio in Lecce.
Research on aircraft hydraulic energy storage using Siemens AMESim. Also a BSc in Aeronautical Engineering and an Erasmus study exchange in Lisbon.
