Project Summary

Until today there is not any available adequate full book and full DVD including UAV state of the art technology in simple and easily-understandable level by bachelor students and amateur UAV users in the literature. The current sources related with UAV state of the art technology are so complicated. Therefore they can be just understood by PhDs / PhD students studied/ studying on UAVs. Due to this fact, the consumers of these sources are so limited. Since UAV state of the art technologies are applied only by so limited number of researchers, technological developments are not obtained fast that it never satisfies the demands of UAV industry. There is actually a need for such a full book and supporting full DVD that describe UAV state of the art technologies in simple level that can be easily understood by bachelor students and amateur UAV users.

In this project the target groups are engineering students interested in UAVs and the related state of the art technologies (e.g. aeronautical engineering students, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronical engineering students), aviation school students (e.g. airframe and powerplant department students, aircraft electrics and electronics students), some other university departments (e.g. physics department students, astronomy department students), and also amateur UAV users (e.g. amateur UAV users in Kayseri region of Turkey).

An education set (i.e. full book and full DVD) and novel education curriculum on UAV state of the art technologies in simple level is developed and prepared in this project. A similar training set for bachelor students and amateur UAV users does not exist in the market now. Aerospace industry will easily find employees expert on UAV state of the art technologies and this education set is able to increase the level of potential aerospace industry employees in Europe. Due to the fact that new graduates and amateur UAV users can develop novel approaches in UAV state of the art technologies, aerospace industry can be guided better in Europe. Since each partner is expert on different UAV state of the art technologies, they helped each others during composing full book and full DVD.

The number of students participated demo exams was about more than 1000. Moreover, around 50 amateur UAV users joined these exams. In dissemination activities more than 100 students joined. Most of them were international students. Over the project period for activities more than 50 staff joined.
