UAV "iFlyer"

This is the story of the "iFlyer" from Southampton University... a student led design.

Unmanned Vehicles

Southampton University has been using Paul Heckles Flight Centre for many years now to undertake testing of student-designed Unmanned-Vehicle designs.

Professor Jim Scanlan says

We have been absolutely delighted with the level of service, enthusiasm and "can-do" attitude that Paul and his team exudes. Paul’s level of piloting skill and his professionalism in ensuring airworthiness and safety is exemplary. His interpersonal skills and friendly attitude to our students has been a delight. I thoroughly recommend Paul and his team to anyone for training or testing associated with unmanned systems or model aircraft.
