Project VECTAIR - Autonomous Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Aircraft
This is the first project I took on as the Controls and Electronics lead of the UCL Racing Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) team.
I led the electronics and controls work for our autonomous UAV, working closely with the propulsion, chassis, and aerodynamics teams to align on specifications such as motor selection, battery placement, and electronics integration.
Collaborating across functions was crucial to ensuring that our flight controller, hardware, and software worked seamlessly together, enabling accurate autonomous flight and payload delivery during the competition.
Buying a model VTOL UAV to study its design and experiment with programming the flight controller.
Working with the Propulsion team to calibrate servo motors.
Creating a wooden template with the Chassis team to work out wire routings.
Crimping custom-length wires for our motors.
Whole Team Effort - Assembling Our Prototype for the First Time
Huge thanks to my amazing UAS team. This would not have been possible without each of your hard work!
