Our NTTF Diploma students participated in national level innovation challenge named “Vishvakarma Awards” organized by Maker Bhavan Foundation. The challenge was divided into three themes: Water and Sanitation, Clean Technology, Smart Mobility. Our college team participated under Smart Mobility theme with a proposal to develop “Flapping type Unmanned Aerial Vehicle”. After clearing the initial three stages, working for more than 4 months, they were successfully able to present the proof of concept of the Flapping UAV.
This Drone is proposed to be used specially for surveillance and intelligence gathering for security purposes in urban areas/cross border security. The prototype is built using light carbon fibre body, 3D printed parts, and market available materials. It has a wingspan of 1.4 meters and weighs about 550 gms. The first flight test conducted successfully for 20 seconds.
We thank our directors (SM Saraf and SK Saraf) for their constant support and guidance throughout and also appreciate the efforts put up by the students of NTTF in achieving this milestone.
