Abstract: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies is a main focus for the IEEE AESS StudentChapter at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T).The design team is building a UAV for use in student competitions, such as the Outback Challenge, and for College and Pre-College demonstrations.The team has collaborated with the Aerospace Engineering Senior Design class to create a custom fixed-wing airframe to meet requirements for 1) a flight time of approximately one-hour, 2) a load capacity sufficient for needed on-board electronics and search-and-rescue payload, and 3) stable flight characteristics to facilitate image capture.The team's emphasis is to design and integrate the on-board systems for UAV operation, image capture, etc.
