Project Vyoma
Recognized by world renowned associations like SAE, we are Project Vyoma, an international project aiming to design and fabricate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Based in RV College of Engineering, Bangalore, the project has been successfully participating in various international events for the past three years, including the renowned SAE AeroDesign event held in spring every year in the USA. The Team consists of under-graduate students brought together by a common dream of making their mark in the field of aeronautics.
RV College
R V College of engineering’s commitment is to be a leader in technical education and relevant research. Seeking to produce future leaders for industry and torch bearers of technology whose vision is founded upon fundamental knowledge, analytical skills, creativity, perspective and ethics , RVCE has set in place a series of processes in its educational facility in Bangalore. It is the place where excellence in education is achieved through training students who seek to advance the frontiers of science and technology by combining the basic knowledge with the innovative application of engineering and scientific principles. RVCE is a movement that’s seeing unhindered progress for over 47 years.
Excellence in Engineering
Step into RVCE and you enter a world devoted to excellence in engineering. The activities in this sprawling campus epitomize the quest for knowledge and skills development that distinguishes engineering education, consultancy and research at its best.
Life as we know, has to a large extent been shaped by engineering knowledge and skills. The transition from agrarian to industrial and to today’s ‘Information Age’ has been driven by a series of technological advances. Whether it is mining deep in earth for minerals or soaring high into space, engineering has been the key. We take granted for conveniences of the modern cities which owe their very existence to the efforts of engineer who dared to turn ideas into reality. Engineering is responsible for the paradigm shift that we are witnessing today. And we at R V College of engineering are proud of the role we play in this process of change.
Top rank
Rated among the top engineering institutions in the country, RVCE has also been in the forefront of cutting edge research that has seen top-tech companies of the world associating with it. RVCE has enviable track record with University ranks. An engineer from RVCE is looked upon as one of a special breed by virtue of the mark its alumni has made in organizations around the world. RVCE’s reputation for academic excellence is well founded. The year 2005-06 alone saw 25 ranks garnered by it. Recognized internationally as a centre for engineering excellence , it has established collaborative arrangements with leading universities in USA, FRANCE, JAPAN, KOREA and GERMANY for advanced studies.
SAE Aerodesign 2009
TThe SAE Aero Design competition was held at Marietta, Georgia, USA from 3rd to 5th April, 2009. After all the formalities of evaluation and design verification, the plane was cleared for take-off. The plane(Vyoma-II) had twice the number of successful flights and three times the payload capacity than the first plane owing to improvements in the plane design. The plane secured 20th position among the 45 teams that participated.
SAE Aerodesign 2008
The event was conducted in Marietta, Georgia, U.S.A. TEAM VYOMA was taking part for the first time in the event. It was a 3 day event where various UAVs from universities all around the globe, took part and flew their aircrafts. The competition provides undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students with a real life engineering exercise. There are restrictions on the available power, aircraft length, width and height requirements. As per the requirement of the competition, VYOMA – I was a low speed high lift UAV. Due to financial constraints, the aircraft had to be built with Balsa wood while the top 8 out of the top 10 teams used carbon fibers. Technically design wise, VYOMA - I was on par with top teams. It was ranked 18th , out of the 40 teams that participated in this event, a outstanding finish for a team on debut.
