The IAV-SF1, aka Project Skyfall, marks an exciting new chapter for Illini Autonomous Vehicles as we venture into high-performance autonomous quadcopters. Our first flight was a testament to the advanced capabilities and engineering precision embedded into every aspect of this drone. Featuring a completely custom carbon fiber frame designed and manufactured entirely by our team, the IAV-SF1 stands as one of the most sophisticated UAV systems we've ever developed. Built to autonomously execute waypoint missions and precision drops at remarkable speeds, this drone not only demonstrates our team's technical innovation but also positions us competitively for the 2026 SUAS competition. With Project Skyfall, we set a bold foundation for future developments in high-speed autonomous aerial systems.
