Main exhibits 1
Jet Engine Canard Drone
This is a full-scale, jet engine-equipped canard-type drone being developed through graduate school lectures. It measures 2.2 meters in length, 2 meters in wingspan, and has a takeoff weight of 10 kg. The fuselage is made of FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic), and the wings are wooden.
Development began in 2012, involving aerodynamic and structural design, jet engine design, wind tunnel and strength testing, jet engine testing, motion simulation, and HILS (hardware-in-the-loop simulation) testing. So far, flight tests have been conducted at airfields in Gifu, Mie, and Okayama Prefectures.
Aiming for autonomous flight, a proprietary autonomous flight program has been developed, and a flight test is planned for September 2024, following similar tests in 2023.

Driving a Flying Car Using a Car Driving Simulator
This research aims to enable the operation of a flying car as easily as driving a regular car, using a car's steering wheel and accelerator/brake devices.
We are studying flight control methods that would allow a flying car to be piloted with an ordinary driver's license by utilizing a car driving simulator and a mathematical model of the flying car.
