Vantus - Unmanned aerial vehicle from the University of Seville

The VANTUS team, acronym for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle of the University of Seville, is a university organization based at the Higher Technical School of Engineering of Seville, made up of a group of students with the objective of participating in international aeromodelling competitions by designing, building and flying light radio-controlled aircraft or RPAS.

Currently in its second year of formal activity, Vantus has the collaboration of 30 students of grade and master, in addition to the support of a teacher as a Team Advisor and associate teacher, acting as a team consultant. Organized in 4 technical departments that cover all the design areas of an aircraft and two support departments, the team debuted in July 2023 with its first prototype of its own manufacturing, Jaleo I.

With him, the sixth place was achieved at the Xtrachallenge 2023, the first national championship. With the Jaleo I flight, it was shown that a group of students from this school managed to design, manufacture and pilot an aircraft from scratch, learning everything necessary along the way in the period of one year.

For the 2023/2024 season, the team prepares to participate in the Air position Challenge 2024, the European Championship held in Aachen (Aquison).
