VTOL Project (2)

Duration: MAR ‘24 - SEP ‘24

Second VTOL Project for Korea Robot Aircraft Competition

Team Bulnabi at Seoul National University (SNU)

As the team leader of this 25-member project, I have overseen all aspects of the process. Our team has:

  • Conducted over 30 fixed-wing flight missions, successfully stabilizing all mission phases.
  • Built, redesigned, and rebuilt the entire aircraft over five times to optimize performance.
  • Enabled autonomous waypoint missions, implemented obstacle avoidance systems and precision landing.
