Team Challengers of Sahyadri has accomplished yet another feat by securing second place in "AVIATE'22". AVIATE is NIT Calicut's pioneer aeromodelling event where Aeromodelling enthusiasts from institutions across the country compete against each other.
The team consisting of Nehal Hosalikar and Rachana Shetty from second-year Information Science & Engineering; Varun Raj Melanta and Rakshith K from second-year Mechanical Engineering achieved this feat. The team received a problem statement to design an affordable "Crop Duster", a fixed-wing aircraft that has to be designed considering the field sizes in India to fertilize 0.125 acres of land. The disassembled aircraft must be compact enough to fit in a box the size of 1200mm*1200mm*1200mm.
Team Challengers is a unique technical hub that provides massive opportunities in various fields like Aero-modeling, Aerial and Ground Robotics, thus helping students boost their technical skills.
