Vayu

Regular 2022

Building on the previous success, the team embraced innovation with a cutting-edge dual boom structure that significantly reduced the moment arm, optimizing stability and control. The plane was designed with a zero-drag fuselage, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency while allowing for the highest payload capacity yet. This pioneering approach not only enhanced performance but also reflected the team's relentless dedication, ultimately securing their position as champions once again.

Aerothon

Regular 2021

With a young team and a new competition, the team outperformed all others with a one-of-a-kind product. Capable of cruising at up to 200 km/h while carrying a payload of 28kgs and reaching altitudes of up to 6000m. It was designed and developed as the ultimate solution for various reconnaissance, surveillance, payload drop, and cargo missions, and is powered by a massive 64cc EFI engine capable of 7hp. The ability of the wing and tail to morph at any angle distinguishes this aircraft, making it a tough and efficient vehicle.

Jatayu

Regular 2020

After the giant leap as champions in the last year, the team forged ahead and redesigned the plane for extra strength and to carry a higher payload. Out tapered wings were mated to a stronger, meaner, innovative fuselage. The team also came up with an innovative triple tail configuration. With all the factors contributing, Jatayu maintained the legacy by winning the championship for the team second time.

Atom

Micro 2020

Making the plane lighter is a challenge and making it carry a payload its x times weight is bonking!! That’s what the team did. The fuselage was flown with a rectangular split-wing carring a whopping 2kgs and earned the title “The Unsung Hero”.

Varthaman

Regular 2019

From thinking of the uncommon and advent in materials, the team made the prototype lighter, stronger and better. Carried a payload of 5kg and rode the skies with the team’s efforts, struggle and zeal and hoisting the champions flag of SAE INDIA 2018-2019 to be the No.1.

Regular 2019 - Prototype

With onset of a new year, a novel style, design, contemporary construction techniques were developed. Polyhedral, out-tapered wings were fastened to a strong fuselage which held the unconventional H-tail.

Varthaman

Micro 2019

Polyhedral, out tapered wing with a unique wood spar held the foam fuse having a conventional tail fixed at its aft. This aircraft being highly stable carried a payload of 1.5 kg which ranked #3 all over India in SAE Aerodesign challenge 2018-2019.

Micro 2019 - Prototype

In order to explore innovative construction techniques, elliptical wings were pondered which provided a high lift. It was mated with a sleek fuse made of foam.

Micro 2019 - Prototype

A micro-plane must be light as possible, to reach a high payload fraction. Thus CF was used as boom and wing spar. Formers held the payload and 3d printed motor mount was fixed.

Dyaus

Regular 2018

As a part of the SAE INDIA Aerodesign challenge 2017-2018, the team designed a fuselage built with formers whilst T-tail and rectangular wing configurations were chosen. This prototype was designed to lift a payload of 2.5 kg which ranked us #8 all over India.

Regular 2018 - Prototype

To carry a payload, strength was needed. The fuselage was built with balsa and Aluminium formers considering the strength by weight ratio. T-tail and tapered wing configurations with aluminium landing gear was fabricated.

Regular 2018 - Prototype

The plane that paved a way for the upcoming. Skeleton built from balsa formers, wings tapered and elevated tail fixture. It was indeed a remarkable plane for the beginners which proved to be a first step in the sands of time to success.
