Sub-Teams

In order to work efficiently, our work is split between sub-teams, each focusing on a subset of the project. Here you can find short descriptions of what each one focuses on!

Subteam

Aerospace

The Aerospace team is responsible for the design and operation of the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), as well as other physics-related aspects of the project.

Currently, the focus is on building “Lapyx 2”, the second of our prototype. It integrates the most essential subsystems: power generation and an on-board communication system. The drone has a 3 meter wingspan and weighs less then 3.5 kilogram. The members of this subteam focus on all phases of design, manufacturing and assembly of the airframe.

The subteam also facilitates the operation of Ready to Fly (RTF) drones, used to test specific subsystems, like navigation and telemetry.

Subteam

Avionics

The Avionics sub-team is concerned with all electronics aboard the aircraft. This includes the power generation, storage and propulsion system, where the continuous focus is on improving efficiency toghether with the aerospace group.

The current goal is to successfully implement a power generation system on board a RTF drone. The team also works on telemetry and control systems.

Software

The Software sub-team is responsible for the navigation and communication systems of the drone, with an emphasis on developing semi-autonomous capabilities.

Currently, the focus is on learning to use open-source programs for navigation and telemetry, testing features using our RTF drones. This team works closely with the other subteams to ensure successful and safe flights.
