team top guns : motivation, innovation and dreams
DESCRIPTION
Team Top Guns is the AeroDesign team of NIT Jamshedpur, IN. Conceived in 2009 out of fascination for aircraft, the team has added several feathers to its hat since then - from constructing India's cheapest MAV to winning the NASA Systems Engineering Award in 2011, we have showed we love our work, and take it pretty seriously.

We are the only Indian team to successfully participate in the event with 2 aircrafts for 2 consecutive years, in all classes of the event.
Also, we are one of only few teams in the world to have made aircrafts of all 3 classes.
We are quite high on our innovation quotient.
Following slides will testify this. :)
Innovative features of our MAV – ROHINI
Total Weight: 250 gm.
One of the lightest and few successful MAVs built ever in India.
Very low cost.
Can be used for military surveillance purposes.
Unlike other present day MAVs, has a payload bay which can be used to dock electronic equipment.
Micro Class
Innovative Features of our UAV - VIVRALEE Empty Weight: 20 lbs.
Payload: 30 lbs.
On-board DAS that can measure the take-off
and landing distance. Built-in electronic infrastructure makes deployment of other electronic equipment easy.
Vivralee can be successfully deployed on disaster relief missions apart from regular UAV missions.
Its is a Short Take-off and Landing aircraft. This makes it favorable to take-off and land even in adverse conditions.
Advanced Class
The team is our family. We live together, and love each other. :)
THE GALLERY.
We believe, its not the prize that matters. It’s the journey towards victory, the numerous falls and rises, and the satisfaction of seeing what we have made flying high in the skies that matter.
It’s the dream that matters.
Help us follow our dreams.
Support us.
