IEEE-UAV Project is an R&D project that started with 10 people at the beginning of the fall term of 2018. Its main purpose includes learning the flight principles of unmanned aircraft, performing its structural design and analysis mechanically, ensuring the modeling of the designed aircraft through fluid analysis, having information about the aircraft electronic system (avionics), writing all the autonomous codes and parameters of the vehicle and the production of the aircraft. With 2 years of experienced team members every year, it is a debt to transfer information to you, our esteemed friends. The goal of the team is to get a degree in the competitions "Teknofest" held in our country and "IMech" held in England, as well as to represent our club and university in the best way. There is no major/class restriction for the team.
The drone, known by everyone as the drone, is a type of aircraft that can be remotely controlled. It is the aircraft indirectly controlled by the pilot at long ranges through the wireless communication modules it contains. The purpose of use varies according to where it is used. For example; it can undertake tasks such as fire extinguishers, bomb disposal vehicles etc. The purpose of use in our country is mostly the field of defense industry. The aim of UAV in our school is to ensure the development of students in the project in the fields of communication, electronic-hardware and software, static and fluid mechanics. It is also one of the biggest projects our IEEE club has undertaken in order to carry on such projects and transfer the learned argen to the next generation of students. The goal is not only to increase technical knowledge, but also to contribute to the personal development of the students, to provide a network (engineers and other employees involved in jobs related to the project), to participate in social events and competitions that are organized in our home country and/or abroad, and to produce original projects. Due to the purpose of the project, we aim to produce the project originally by working day and night with our teammates, without copying the UAV internal and external systems made by students or citizens in our country. In this context, we aim to provide technical support for the project carried out by the teachers at our school or the network we provide. The project aims to fly the intended UAV in the desired way. Features such as image processing, full autonomous flight etc. will be added with the R&D studies that will be carried out later. In other words, as it is understood from here, this is not just a year-long project that appeals to a small community, but a comprehensive system to work on for many years.
