Unmanned aircraft from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology to take part in two competitions in the USA

02.03.2020

Unmanned aircraft constructed by students of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology will take part in two competitions in the USA – in Florida and Texas. The aircraft will compete in the Advanced and Micro categories. Their wingspan is 3.35 m and 1.3 m, respectively.

Airplanes take part in the Advanced class, which must lift the heaviest static load possible, locate a point on the ground and drop as much as 1 kg of cargo from a height of 30 m. Tracking is done using a camera and transmitters that send real-time image and flight telemetry data to a ground control station.

In the Micro class, planes must lift the heaviest load possible, cover a certain distance with it, and land safely. It is a competition for small aircraft, and during the competition students have only 1.5 minutes to remove them from the container, assemble and prepare for flight. Take-off of the plane is made from a hand.
