UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE WORKSHOP:
"The knack to flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss"
-Douglas Adams
At the dawn of the twentieth century, having explored and conquered all land, man turned his eyes skywards. For much of history he has been trying to conquer this seemingly unbeatable foe. The skies continued to elude him until finally, the Wright brothers finally conquered the skies one windy morning in the winter of 1903. Since then the aircraft industry has exploded, and aero planes have captured the imagination of the human race. This workshop by AerotriX gives the participants an opportunity to understand the theory behind the functioning of aircrafts and aircraft design. It makes the participants innovate by coming up with their own design of mini aircrafts and fabricating them as per their design. This workshop takes the participants through a series of interactive lectures and design sessions supplemented by practical sessions, thereby providing a complete learning experience.
Workshop Specialties
1. No pre-designed kits are given to participants. Participants design their own aircrafts (using
hand calculation and software) under the guidance of our professionals
which are later fabricated by them.
2. The workshop is organized personally by IIT Kanpur Aerospace Engineering Graduates.
