Development of civil UAV supported by Ministry of Industry and Trade (Czech Republic), held together with industrial partners (2006-2009)
Main aims:
Main aims:
• Development of a flying testbed • Development and tests of
equipment suit for civil UAVs (based partially on COTS components)
• Development of new propulsion units
Impact of industrial and
international cooperation on education
• Practical design experience – participation on the development of airplanes for civil market (Ae-270, KP-2U/Rapid200, VUT100, etc.) – primary objective of the university is education of engineers
• State-of-the-art technologies – participation on international projects brings new technologies
• Education of young scientists – Ph.D. students form key part of IAE research „man-power“
• Contacts on international level
• State-of-the-art equipment and laboratories – including certified testing lab. (CAA approved)
