Creating Network for Aerial Deliveries Using Uncrewed Automated Helicopters by RangeAero | Bangalore RUM 2022

​​​​​​​We were delighted to have Rohit Gupta and Prajwal Thakare from RangeAero present at the 2022 Bangalore SIMULIA Regional User Meeting, May 17, 2022.

Abstract: Along with most other industries undergoing tremendous changes to match the technical advancements, aviation is also expanding its reach in the supply-chain with dedicated freight logistics. To fulfill such growth, RangeAero is introducing modern VTOL aircrafts suitable for short-haul freight aviation. RangeAero's Range series of helicopters offer improved performance and capabilities with added cost-savings. The successful commercialisation of these aircrafts requires modern techniques in development, flight worthiness analysis, and certifications. The techniques utilize frameworks for enhanced simulations, optimized lifecycle performance, and environmental sustainability. The presentation focuses on using modern simulation techniques used in RangeAero's development process, from conceptual design to the flight testing of functional prototypes.

Biography: Rohit is leading the technology development in designing the new generation of autonomous helicopters at RangeAero, implementing the modern cutting edge simulation techniques to significantly reduce the design & testing time in aircraft development. Rohit is an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Patna, and has been deeply engaged in solving controls & navigation problems in robotics.

Prajwal leads the engineering team at RangeAero, responsible for aircraft structural design, manufacturing & validations. Prajwal focuses on leading the design & simulations of the complex assemblies for the coaxial rotor system, airframe & landing gear systems. He has been passionately associated with improving mechanical systems through fundamental concepts & analysis.
