Project Lead

The project lead helps to manage the entire project, making sure the team are hitting their goals and everything is working smoothly.

Avionics

Making sure all of the flight critical electronics are operational and up to spec is a part of the job for the Avionics sub-team.

Structures and Manufacturing

The team designs the main structure of the UAV, which includes the fuselage and arm system for the motors and propellers. Other areas of design includes the payload system, gimbal camera system, motor mounts, etc. The vast majority of work that the structures team does is based in CAD, specifically Fusion 360 and Solidworks. The team also works together to maintain a production perspective on the design by manufacturing the CAD models into physical prototypes.

Flight Dynamics

As the patent involves a variable incidence wing, the Flight Dynamics team are tasked with designing, manufacturing, and testing a wing structure. Specifically, they focus on the carrying capacity as well as the control of airflow around the fuselage of the aircraft.

Missions

Missions works hard to make our drone fully autonomous, as well as connecting the drone to our ground control system for telemetry transmission and analysis.
