The Challenge | Fly-by-Wireless

Beginning with the design or concept of a current aircraft or spacecraft, your challenge is to engineer the design of the first aircraft or spacecraft with no wires, connectors, or penetrations! You may choose to add functions that the original vehicle does not have. Be sure to identify future aerospace applications as specifically as possible.

FOUKO "our approach determines our reality"

This project proposes a wireless, low-cost aircraft to assist the search and rescue operations of mountaineers.

This paper proposes a low-cost wireless aircraft design to assist the search and rescue operations of mountaineers in Aconcagua, making searches more efficient, cheaper and providing assistance through AI (artificial intelligence). This design promises to meet this growing demand in this activity. This wireless design does not use cables or connectors for its operation. These characteristics added to the problem of searches and rescues of climbers make the wireless airplane a disruptive technology, would reduce by 95% the flight hours of a traditional search and rescue operation and by 83% the costs of the same in one year in Aconcagua.

We also use aeronautical technology, such as the DME system for the location of the drone in order to manage by telemetry, software provided by NASA for data triangulation, innovation of aeronautical structures, along with the morphology of insects.
