Founded in 2017, as part of UCLR, the UAS Team Nova consists of Mechanical Engineering students attending University College London with the shared passion for innovation in aviation. The team designs unmanned aerial vehicles capable of undergoing rescue or surveillance missions.
During the past year, the team was focused on designing an autonomous helicopter, which successfully competed at the 2022/23 IMechE UAS Challenge.
The team came 4th in the live demonstration event and won an “Operational Supportability” award 🏆. For more info, visit UAS Challenge 2023.
For more information about the helicopter, visit Project DRAGONFLY
The aim for the 2023/24 IMechE UAS Challenge will be to construct a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicle, to pursue the endurance component of the mission flight with hopes to gain higher efficiencies. For more information about the project, visit Project VECTAIR.
We are thankful to our sponsors for supporting us on the exciting journey to develop UAVs.
We are open to any exciting collaboration opportunities!
