Long-Range Solar UAV for Humanitarian Aid

We develop long-range UAVs that can carry small payloads of 4 pounds and fly 200-300 miles without recharging. The aircraft can be assembled on the fly and has a self-destruction mechanism for an emergency landing in hostile areas.

We are collaborating with “Uplift Aeronautics” a team from Stanford University to develop Aleppo-300, long-range solar UAV for humanitarian relief. 

We integrate unmanned aerial systems through innovation and advanced research, spanning from basic STEM education to advanced product realization and commercialization. The research focuses on the long-range fixed-wing solar UAVs and multirotor drones.
