Helicopter Design: Ibis project image

Project Description:

In response to the VFS annual student design competition, the Ibis team has worked to design a multi-mission, modular, unmanned aerial system for disaster relief. This multifunctional aircraft can deliver life saving supplies as well as function as a communications relay for over 10 hours. The design considers flight deck operations aboard a ship, weather conditions common in natural disasters, industry and military specifications, and the versatility to do more than the prescribed missions.
