Go Aero Purdue

I have been a part of this team from its very conception. As Co-Founder and President of this club, I have worked with my peers on technical development and robust systems engineering. I have enjoyed seeing its growth, raising over $50,000 in the first 6 months and evolving from a 5 man operation into the multi-team winning organization. H.E.A.R.T (Human Emergency Aerial Rescue and Transport) is the first of many projects we aim to build to participate in the rapidly evolving Advanced Air Mobility Landscape. It will serve as a semi-autonomous search and rescue vehicle, to bridge the gap between helicopters and modern drones.

 

We are building H.E.A.R.T to compete in Go Aero - an international competition with 200+ teams, and over $2 million in prizes. Our design proposal was one of 14 winning entries for the US university innovation prize supported by NASA. We are currently developing the prototype, where my primary focus is to engage in Autonomy and Software development with PX4.
