The purpose of the SAEISS Aero Design Challenge is to promote and develop Indian expertise and experience in unmanned systems technologies at the university and college levels. Even small scale unmanned vehicles are complex systems requiring a well planned and executed design approach. SAEISS Aero Design features two classes of competition - Regular and Micro. Regular Class continues to be the class with the purpose to develop the fundamental understanding of flight and the goal is to lift as much payload as possible. Micro Class teams are required to make trades between two potentially conflicting requirements, carrying the highest payload fraction possible, while simultaneously pursuing the lowest empty weight possible.
SAEISS Aero Design Challenge (ADC) 2022 was held at SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST), Kattankulathur campus, Chennai from 1st to 3rd September 2022. IARE has participated in the competition with two teams IARE ABHYAS (REGULAR CLASS) & IARE AGNI (MICRO CLASS). IARE ABHYAS has designed an RC aircraft with 6 kg empty weight and 2 Kg payload weight, similarly IARE AGNI has designed an RC aircraft with 1.16 kg empty weight and 0.4 Kg payload weight. IARE AGNI has won first prize in technical presentation with its best Aerodynamic Design.
SAE INDIA AERO DESIGN - 2021
The competition is intended to provide Bachelor / Master / Diploma students with a real-life engineering challenge. It has been designed to provide exposure to the kinds of situations that engineers face in their real-life work environment. Each team is required to conceive, design and develop a prototype of fixed wing UAV meeting the mission requirements. First and foremost a design competition, students will find themselves performing trade studies and making compromises to arrive at a design solution that will optimally meet the mission requirements while still conforming to the configuration limitations.
The importance of interpersonal communication skills is sometimes overlooked, yet both written and oral communication skills are vital in the engineering workplace. To help teams develop these skills, a high percentage of a team's score is devoted to the design report and the oral presentation required in the competition.
Team Lakshya has secured 3rd position in the design competition.

SAE INDIA AERO DESIGN - 2018
The national event of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), Aero design challenge 2018 held at ANNA university, Chennai with 112 remarkable teams participating in the competition representing various institutions and universities all over INDIA. Students came out with different innovative ideas of aircraft models to participate in the competition. The competition was categorized in two classes, the regular and the micro class unmanned aircraft Vehicles (UAV).
The journey begun with the concept of innovations to build UAVs of two classes. The teams were formed in the month of November, 2017 with students of different thought process. With an effort of individual work, the teamwork went on making the design report, model fabrication and testing and finally the technical presentation in a sequential manner with the best outcomes and guidelines. Our teams from Institute of Aeronautical Engineering (IARE), Hyderabad has taken an initiative to participate in the competition for the first time with the spirit of developing a new innovative concept for two classes.
Team IARE ABHYAS developed a twin wing single boom UAV with electrical power system of 5,200 mAh and a 2200volts battery which was imported from Hongkong to carry the highest payload of 4 .1kg and could complete its mission profile with a 15m/sec speed at a height of 100ft.
Team IARE LAKSHYA participated in micro class category designed a MAV with the lowest empty weight of 800grams and carried the highest payload of 3kgs. The interesting factor was the design of the aircraft wing with the interpolation of airfoil’s that helped the aircraft to carry the highest payload and generate more lift.
Two teams out of 112 teams representing the team IARE ABHYAS and team IARE LAKSHYA have participated in both the categories with an awe struck innovations that brought the highlight of the award evening for obtaining the first prize for the best innovation to team IARE ABHYAS regular class model with a tandem wing configuration followed by the first prize for the best technical presentation and design report. With an energetic journey of the competition, the team was awarded second for the overall performance. Another joyfulness and doubling the victory by team IARE LAKSHYA has won the second place for the best technical presentation in the micro class category. Behind every successful thing stands people with encouraging thoughts and minds the Faculty advisors from IARE Mr. GSD Madhav and Ms. Y Shwetha was an asset to the entire team.
Seven Students for each team with 14 students in total from IV year Aishwarya, Naveen, Sushma, Dedeepya, Arathi with the III year student Sai Durgesh and an I year student Arzun Nambiar together comprised the IARE ABHYAS and also for Team IARE LAKSHYA
Sai Vinay, Sai Pradyumna Reddy, Rachel, Durgesh Kamat, Charan from IV year and Sravan Kumar, Sweshika from the III year B.tech have created a wonderful platform for themselves.A ton full of happiness was personified among all the students who have participated with the amazing platform that was organized by the SAE INDIA.
