Loughborough UAV

Loughborough University continuing student UAS organization designs, builds, tests, and flies autonomous aircraft for the IMechE UAS Challenge. Successive Titan, Manta, Odonata, and Kolibri programmes document repeated aircraft engineering, with current 2025–26 students developing an autonomous agricultural water-drop UAV. Official sources record the 2024 Best Design, Scrutineers and Simulation awards and the 2026 Innovation Award.
