I am doing this campaign to raise 30000 INR to help my college team raise enough funds to ensure that we can get to and participate in the Global Aero design competition being staged in the USA. The total funds we need to raise is close to 4L INR. So please do not stop funding my campaign even if i go past my goal. Do read the details of the campaign and what we are planning to do & fund generously. 

ABOUT TEAM KRATOS

Team Kratos is an all-student team at the Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science, Chennai that is going to participate in the SAE international Aero-modelling competition. This will be held at Forth Worth in Texas.Team KRATOS consists of 15 members, coordinating among themselves to build an advanced class aircraft meeting all the design requirements. The objective of this advanced classes is to design a system that can deliver colonists, habitats and supplies to the surface of Mars. This is Radio Controlled (RC) plane made out of Balsa wood with a wing span of 8.5 feet.

 

Filled with the passion for Aero designing and enthusiasm to achieve big,  Team KRATOS decide to take up the task of designing and fabricating a radio-controlled advanced class aircraft right from scrap. The plane will undergoing a number of  tests and will then be shipped to FORT WORTH TEXAS-USA where its true caliber is evaluated against 84 other teams from around the world.

The previous models designed by team KRATOS did well at such a global competition earlier and we began designing and fabricating a plane which is significantly lighter and efficient to compete in the SAE Aero modeling challenge of 2019.

SAE international AERO MODELLING competition is going to be in three categories

  • Regular class
  • Advanced class
  • Micro class

Team KRATOS is going to participate in the advance class Aero design challenge 2019 which is going to take place at Forth Worth, Texas from March 8-10th.

HOW MUCH DO WE NEED TO RAISE? 

ABOUT ME


I am Hari om, studying in the Aeronautical stream from the Hindustan Institute of Technology and science. Being an enthusiastic engineer, I decided to be a part of Team KRATOS and it is my vision and mission to make the RC plane capable of competing against all the other teams. We have a team of 15 members with the same vision and mission to enhance the capabilities of our model. I am raising an amount of INR 30000 individually to make it possible for my team to build an RC plane with higher efficiency. The higher you fund the better as we can use the extra funds to design an even better plane.

Please fund and share this campaign on social media.

PROTOTYPE AND DIMENSIONS

ABOUT SAE



The SAE Aero Design competition is intended to provide undergraduate and graduate engineering students with a real-life engineering challenge. The competition has been designed to provide exposure to the kinds of situations that engineers face in their real-life work environment. 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.

SAE Aero Design features three classes of competition-Regular, Advanced, and Micro. Regular Class continues to be the class with the purpose to develop the fundamental understanding of flight. Advanced Class requires teams to have a systems approach to the design while integrating several engineering disciplines: aeronautical, mechanical, electrical, and computer engineers. The ultimate end goal for this class is an autonomous flight with a "purpose" decided every year by rules committee members. 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.

Why Support Us?

Being just undergraduate engineering students, it's not easy to make RC plane while managing your semester studies, assignments, journals, and college projects. Additionally, it includes working through sleepless nights, hot afternoons, lazy weekends. Sometimes our teammates get hurt while and we constantly face unexpected challenges on a day-to-day basis. None of these challenges can stop us from working towards our goal of building the best ever aero design.

We are really passionate about what we do so we leave no stone unturned in building the best RC plane. But being a student organisation, lack of sufficient financial support is a major setback for the team.

FAQs

How does crowdfunding work?

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.

It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an Idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream is a crowdfunding site and platform in India that allows for such a pooling of funds.

You can fund innovations & ideas on Fueladream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.


Updates have been committed to after the campaign ends.
