RF Spatial Intelligence

RF Spatial Intelligence is an augmented reality and spatial computing concept that enables users to visualize and interact with real-time radio frequency activity directly within their physical environment. The experience transforms invisible electromagnetic signals into intuitive 3D visual overlays using XR interfaces, AI-assisted signal analysis, and real-time RF sensing technologies.

The concept is designed for aerospace,

Aircraft Sealant Scraper

One of most terrible tasks in aircraft maintenance is sealant removal. Although terrible, still need someone to finish. Sealant is one of the important elements for aircraft family. That's why I developed a tiny but powerful tooling for aircraft.

Portable Clean Room

For newer commercial aircraft, there is a large volume of material made with composites. Repair of these composites must be under a controlled environment. Temperature, humidity and particle have to be controlled at certain limit. Further, lots of components can't be removed from aircraft for repair.  On wing repair foresee will be the only option.

The Griffiths Dual-Ring Superconducting Artificial-Gravity Habitat Architecture: Counter-Rotating Magnetic Levitation Design for Long-Duration Deep-Space Habitation

The Dual‑Ring Superconducting Artificial‑Gravity Habitat is a counter‑rotating, magnetically levitated deep‑space habitation architecture designed to provide long‑duration artificial gravity without the gyroscopic penalties of single‑ring centrifuges. The system consists of two concentric toroidal rings: an outer habitation ring with a 100‑metre diameter delivering 0.8 g at a rotation rate of 3.78 RPM,

The Griffiths Free-Flying EVA Logistics Sled

The Griffiths Free-Flying EVA Logistics Sled (NGLS) is a purpose-built EVA logistics vehicle designed to solve a capability gap that traditional astronaut maneuvering units were never intended to address. Systems like SAFER and the historical MMU were built for personal mobility and emergency return, not for transporting heavy equipment, structural components,

Griffiths EM-Governed Hydrogen Aero Engine A No Hydrogen Storage, Field-Gated, On-Demand Ammonia-Cracking Hydrogen Architecture for Piston–Propeller Aircraft

The H2 EM Aero Engine is a field governed, ammonia fuelled hydrogen combustion architecture designed for piston propeller aircraft. It eliminates the storage problem that has made hydrogen impractical for general aviation by cracking ammonia on demand and producing only the hydrogen required for the next combustion cycle. No hydrogen is ever stored on board.

H2EM Jet Engine: Electromagnetic Field Hydrogen Combustion Aviation Turbine

Beyond Whittle proposes a replacement architecture for aviation combustion: an electromagnetic field‑governed reaction kernel that stabilises hydrogen combustion without swirl, without geometry‑anchored flameholding, and without the thermoacoustic and flashback instabilities that make hydrogen fundamentally incompatible with Whittle’s 1940s combustor topology. As the document states, “hydrogen’s ultra‑high flame speed,

Integrated Five-Technology, Four-Layer Active/Passive Defence Architecture for Deep-Space Habitats Including Governed Dust — A Reactive EM Field Architecture for Upstream Capture and Downstream Protection

GRFF v8.0 — the Griffiths Reactive‑Field Framework — is a four‑layer, five‑technology active/passive defence architecture engineered for long‑duration deep‑space habitats operating beyond Earth’s magnetosphere. It addresses the full spectrum of deep‑space hazards: hypervelocity micro‑debris, micrometeoroids, charged‑particle flux, dust clouds, and solar‑particle events. Deep‑space structures face “persistent,

Bio-Inspired Human Flight: Parametric Multi-Feather Wing System

This project presents a bio-mimetic wing system designed for human-scale flight, modeled with 1mm precision in Onshape. Unlike rigid traditional wings, this design utilizes a series of "human feathers" that mimic the skeletal structure and plumage of large birds of prey.​

Key Technical Features:

​Parametric Design: Utilizing Onshape’s variable studios,

Hybrid-Electric Propulsion for Regional Jets

Subtitle: A Modular Approach to Sustainable Regional Aviation 

Regional aviation is essential for connectivity, yet short-haul flights are disproportionately carbon-intensive. Our hybrid-electric propulsion system offers a practical, scalable solution to reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency.

The Challenge

Short-haul flights produce high emissions per passenger.
