The aim of this project is to design a low-cost reconnaissance unmanned aircraft that can be deployed from rough terrain or environments with vertical obstacles. The team designed an unmanned aircraft that can be launched vertically with folded wings, which are deployed to transition the aircraft to conventional horizontal flight.
The unmanned aircraft can fly for 30 minutes and sends live images back to the user. It features fly-by-wire technology so the user can focus on the destination rather than the flight maneuvers to get there.
