Mysore: Four mechanical engineering students of Maharaja Institute of Technology, Mysore, have designed and built an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-Y4 Copter.
Mohan Keerthi, S T Savanth, K Ashwini and P B Pramod finished the project under the guidance of Prof Mohamed Khaisar, head of the Mechanical Engineering Department.
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone and referred to as a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. It is controlled either autonomously by on board computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. “They are usually deployed for military and special operations. They are also being used for a number of civil applications, such as policing and firefighting, and non-military security work such as surveillance of pipelines,” said the students. UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too ‘dirty or dangerous’ for manned aircraft. UAVs can also help search for and rescue people lost in wilderness or trapped in collapsed buildings.
