MAV Club is open to all students at The University of Arizona and is devoted to researching, designing, and fabricating micro air vehicles. We showcase our progress and developments through competitions worldwide.

Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are small, radio-controlled aircraft being developed for basic reconnaissance, aerial photography, and low Reynolds number aerodynamic studies.

Recently the club has been focusing on the development of MAV's with autonomous flight capabilities. Current research also involves the development of collision avoidance and image recognition systems.

The MAV team is comprised of mainly Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering students, but is open to students of all disciplines. Because the club's focus is steadily shifting toward the creation of fully intelligent MAV's, we are especially interested in working with Electrical and Computer Engineering students.

For the past several years, students at the University of Arizona have been very successful in international MAV competitions. Participating in competition is exciting yet challenging and encompasses engineering design, cutting edge construction techniques and results in aircraft performance.
