Imperial College Aerial Vehicle

Imperial College Aerial Vehicle is a continuing Imperial College London student project established in 2016. The 32-student team has competed in the annual IMechE UAS Challenge since 2019 and applies a hands-on design-build-fly process to drone aircraft and electric flight. Current ICAV project evidence includes a solar-powered unmanned-aircraft initiative with prototype flight testing; no unsupported endurance-record, orbital, or mission-completion claim is made.
