Description
With our project, we aim to design, build and fly a fixed-wing tilt-rotor VTOL aircraft. But what does this mean, in simple terms?

VTOL
Fixed-wing
Tilt-rotor
Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft are aircraft that can take-off, hover and land verticallly.
Fixed wing aircraft are aircraft that have a rigid wing for horizintal flight.
Tilt-rotor aircraft have motors or engines mounted on rotating shafts at the end of a fixed wing.

 

Vision
What is the goal of your project?

We aim to fulfil a number of goals progressively:

  1. Design of the aircraft and subsystems
  2. Run simulation on the aircraft and subsystem models
  3. Construction & testing of subsystems
  4. Construction, assembly & testing of aircraft
  5. Achieve stable vertical flight
  6. Achieve stable horizontal flight
  7. Achieve successful transition from vertical to horizontal flight
