About Me:

I am a senior at the university of arizona in Aerospace engineering. I have always been interested in different aspects of space and flight. hoping to get a job that relates to topics on this website


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

For a senior design project i have to build an autonomous UAV that can detect thermals for an increase in both altitude and endurance. We are using an ardupilot for our autopilot.
