DroneTeam Twente
We are DroneTeam Twente, a student team from the University of Twente. Our goal is to accelerate drone innovation by building drones for emergency medical aid. With over 50 past and current student members we participate yearly in the international iMechE UAS Challenge, where our drones autonomously perform a humanitarian aid mission. We also take part in many other unique projects, from drone education to improving drone safety.
PHOENIX
A drone designed for disaster areas
Our 2021 UAS Challenge drone Phoenix is an autonomous 3D-printable drone build for disaster relief in remote areas. It can deliver up to 3 kg of medical equipment at a top speed of 115 km/h. The drone can take off and land like a helicopter and then transition to plane mode to have a range of more than 30 kilometers. It won us the Most Promising award.
