Making a positive impact with drones.
DroneTeam Twente is a student team from the University of Twente that designs and builds new drone solutions for aid delivery. Our mission is to innovate and accelerate the drone industry with our aircraft. We compete in the iMechE UAS Challenge, where we have won two prizes so far.
Thunderbird: a unique drone designed for disaster areas
Our newest drone Thunderbird is an innovative drone build for disaster relief in remote areas. It is distinctive for its box-wing design and 3D-printed fuselage. Weighing less than a bowling ball, it can deliver medical equipment at a speed of 115 km/h. The drone has a high range to deliver aid in disaster regions. With this drone we will simulate a humanitarian aid mission at the 2022 iMechE UAS Challenge.
We are looking for new members!
