Meet the team
Project Leader
Previously a member of the propulsion team, I have now been promoted to project leader due to my ability to constantly expand my knowledge on various engineering disciplines. My desire to find better solutions for current affairs encouraged me to take on the lead role and strive for technological advancements that can benefit society.
My creative and innovative mindset, paired with my ability to work under pressure, allows me to efficiently manage my team of more than 40 engineers to succeed in developing a novel prototype. The team chemistry and dynamics aid my communication and time management skills allowing me to excel in leading us in our future endeavours.
Avionics and Missions
Making sure all of the flight critical electronics are operational and up to spec is one part of the job for the Avionics sub-team. The Missions sub-team then works hard to make our drone fully autonomous, as well as connecting the drone to our ground control system for telemetry transmission and analysis.

Structures and Manufacturing
The team designs the main structure of the UAV, which includes the fuselage and arm system for the motors and propellers. Other areas of design includes the payload system, gimbal camera system, motor mounts, etc. The vast majority of work that the structures team does is based in CAD, specifically Fusion 360 and Solidworks. The team also works together to maintain a production perspective on the design by manufacturing the CAD models into physical prototypes.
