Team Aero-Watt
Historical Heriot-Watt University student aircraft team that designed, built, tested, and flew autonomous fixed-wing UAS for the IMechE UAS Challenge. The official union record documents a sixth-year 2025 competition programme, a 6.3 kg carbon-fibre flying wing carrying a 3.7 kg payload for more than 30 minutes autonomously, the Most Promise Award, sixth overall (second in the UK), and earlier autonomous VTOL and Innovation/Media awards; no 2026 activity is implied.
