Our Final Year Project was to build a UAV with solar powers so that we can increase flight endurance. It was the idea of our supervisor - Dr. LI Boyang. He thinks that applying renewable energy in aircraft has a huge potential to develop in the industry. We thought this was a very interesting challenge. We encountered most challenges in the manufacturing stage. As we are inexperienced in manufacturing techniques, such as soldering and electric cable wiring, and have limited equipment, the manufacturing period severely exceeded what we have scheduled. With the help from Dr. Li and the Industrial Centre, we were able to achieve a great result in the end.
