I know it's been way too long since I've posted an update, so here's a little behind the scenes! I recently started as an aerodynamics engineer at Boeing, working on fighter jets, and I'm insanely excited about it! However, this required a long-distance move, and I've spent the last few months coordinating it. This is where having a ton of airplane junk is a pain! I've also been pretty busy trying to chase my dream of becoming a fighter pilot. With all of that and a whole lot more going on, it’s been very difficult to find time to work on the Tweet. On top of that, I was hoping to wait until I had some good news on it before posting, but lately, it’s been a major pain. You may think I am cutting corners on it, and you would be absolutely correct. But keep in mind, the goal for this engine has always been to simply get it to run, or at least explode. The engine was severely damaged when I got it and was a lost cause from day one. Nearly everything possible is wrong with it. That’s why I am hesitant to spend big money or put in tons of time. If it was in decent shape, getting it to run would’ve been trivial. I do think these constraints make for a fantastic challenge though, and struggling with it has been a great learning experience. So, I hope you follow along on this way overdue project that just gets more and more sketchy as I work towards finally making fire and noise! #backyardjet #aviation #engineering #boeing #science #stem
