Fourth year students from Q U B's School of Mechanical & Aero Space Engineering were granted permission to test their final year projects at Kirkistown today.
George Jacob Robinson Aaron McMaster Keith
Supervised by George and expertly assisted by Keith, the lads programmed their models to take off, fly to pre-programmed waypoints, return and land safely on the runway, all autonomously!
The winds were light today and the models behaved well. Some adjustments were deemed necessery so the lads
hope to return shortly and perfect the autonomous capabilities of their flying machines.
I'll definately need one of these for my 'B' Test !
