An engineering product development student at the Singapore University of Technology and Design started a three-month product design internship last year at an aerospace company in Brazil.
Mr Mohsin Ahamed joined Embraer in Sao Paulo, and together with a fellow Singaporean teammate, re-designing the layout of an aircraft cabin to fit more passengers in the same space.
The pair used a 3D modelling software called Catia to create virtual prototypes of the seating concepts.
The final design expanded the plane’s seating capacity by 296 seats.
