Our Story

The Beginning: A Dream Takes Flight

Team Arrow was founded in 2016 by Darshit Desai, a visionary student passionate about fixed-wing aircraft. With the guidance of our faculty advisor, Prof. Absar Lakdawala, and the support of five dedicated students from the Electronics and Communication Department, the journey began.

Our first major challenge?

The SAE DDC Micro Class Competition! Competing under the name Team Avelons, we secured an impressive 5th overall rank in our very first attempt! This marked the start of our thrilling journey into the world of UAV technology.

The Rise of Team Arrow

Through relentless innovation and teamwork, we have reached new heights. Our participation in national and international competitions has demonstrated our expertise and commitment to UAV technology.

Design Team

Crafting cutting-edge UAV designs using CAD modeling and simulations.

Manufacturing Team

Bringing designs to life through precision fabrication and assembly.

Avionics Team

Ensuring aerodynamic efficiency through rigorous computational analysis and testing.

Analysis Team

Optimizing thrust and performance for UAV capabilities.

Software Team

Handling autonomous navigation, AI-based UAV control, and simulation software.

Our Projects

Over the years, Team Arrow has designed, built, and tested 20+ UAVs, ranging from agile multirotors to long-range autonomous fixed-wing systems. Our portfolio includes VTOL drones, autonomous drones , and fixed-wing built for complex missions. Every project reflects our commitment to innovation, reliability, and excellence in unmanned aerial systems.

Upcoming Projects

Hybrid UAV

Designing a UAV capable of transitioning between VTOL and cruise modes using AI control surfaces.

Swarm Drone

Building a coordinated swarm system for autonomous mission execution using onboard communication.

Next-Gen AI Navigation

Developing robust deep learning-based navigation systems that operate in GPS-denied zones.

Our Workspace

"A place where ideas take flight!"

Team Arrow operates from our dedicated lab in Room 206, A Block, Nirma University. Here, we design, build, and test our aircraft with precision.

For flight testing, we utilize open spaces like the cricket ground and dome ground within the university. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as laser cutting and 3D printing, are carried out at the Tinkerers' Lab (B-106), equipped with state-of-the-art tools.
