Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$25,000.00
First Person View Racing Quadcopter
EF 2015-16
Résumé
The small Calgary-based technology company Hulsker Research Inc. has conducted research into the growing
market of first-person view (FPV) racing quadcopters, and proposes to collaborate with SAIT Polytechnic to
engineer and prototype a new lightweight airframe for integration with the electrical components. This
consumer product brings SAIT's engineering and design expertise together with Hulsker's expertise in
telecommunications, software, and electronics design. The project will produce analytical data, design and a
functional prototype that will help the company commercialize an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle, also
known as a drone. SAIT will gain new knowledge in the deployment of advanced composite engineering and
construction.
