Abstract: |
Buraq is a vertical takeoff/landing (VTOL) drone that combines the best features of fixed wing and rotary drones. It will be used for humanitarian & commercial applications. |
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
Buraq will supply rations to areas of need during times of disaster. It will perform industrial inspections which would otherwise be hazardous for people. Farmers will use it for surveying and spraying crops. It will help in environmental projects such as “The Billion Tree”. |
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
47% of Pakistan’s land is agricultural. Farmers can make use of Buraq to survey and spray their crops. The Government can benefit from our drone in the event of a natural disaster. Online marketplaces can deliver products to customers with our drone which is a 96 billion industry. |
How will the solution works |
Buraq is an unconventional semi-automated UAV which takes off without a runway, instead it uses its 4 propellers to take-off and descend vertically. As the UAV attains an appropriate height, the rotors start to tilt for cruising. The Pixhawk 2 flight controller has been used for autonomous operation. It carries a payload of up to 2 kg and has a flight time of up to 60 minutes. |
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
Our competitors are the giant manufacturers of the UAVs. The basic and the most prominent difference is of the cost. We can provide a very cost-effective alternative to our international Competitors. |
