Hi everyone. I'm Morgan Jones, born and raised in the state of Texas. I love long distance running. roller-coaster rides, and skydiving! I am a Senior at Trinity University, majoring in Engineering Sciences, and I plan to work towards a PhD in Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering post graduation.
What Brings Me to "How to Make"

In my Junior year, I had the awesome opportunity to learn a bit about aircraft design at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), working in the Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment (LAE). Here, I was testing a specific part for an electric-aircraft using a wind tunnel. While working on the project, I unexpectedly met Professor Mark Drela, a world-renowned aerodynamicist and human-powered aircraft expert. Inspired by Professor Drela's passion for designing and building aircraft, I became determined to learn how to design and fabricate flying model planes. I saw the "How to Make Course" as my intro course to learning how to make an aircraft or sub-system.
