Team Phoenix- NIT Jamshedpur

We, the students of NIT Jamshedpur Design & fabricate UAV's for aeromodelling events like SAE Aero- Sinha.

A pioneer of Aero Designing in college, Team Phoenix is a group of engineering connoisseurs committed to perform high-end aircraft designing and engineering. This team was founded in the year 2011 by a model aircraft enthusiast Pratibha Tripathi, along with its committed team members Indushekhar Singh, Abhinav Singhavi, Shalini Das, Alka Sethi and Varija Raj under the skillful guidance of Dr. M.K.

From the very begining this team has been active in various National, International events and has achieved new heights in aviation field. Some of our team achievements are as follows:
• Participated in Regular class of SAE Aero Design East 2016 competition organised by Lockheed Martin, in TEXAS, USA, and secured 14th rank globally & stood 1st among all indian teams. The plane was regarded as the most stable plane of the competition & use of strings instead of struts was appreciated.
• Participated in Micro class of SAE Aero Design East 2015 competition organised by Lockheed Martin, in Florida, USA, and stood 13th rank globally.
• Participated in micro class of SAE Aero Design East 2014, in Georgia, USA, and stood 7th rank globally and 1st among all Indian teams. The plane was awarded as the most stable plane of the competition.
• Participated in Two classes of SAE Aero Design West 2013, in California, USA,and got 18th rank globally and 1st among all Indian teams.
• Our two aircrafts were awarded NASA System Engineering Certificate as they achieved all the technical requirments of NASA in year 2013.
• We were the only Indian team to qualify among top 68 foreign teams to combat in world’s most prestigious student Design-Build-Fly competition organised by American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), USA in the year 2012. We also believe in incorporating new ideas and Innovations in our RC Model Aircrafts. Some of those significant efforts are listed below:
• We are working on image processing in UAV, so that we can use the aircrafts for survillance and rescue purpose.
• Working on development of efficient model of aircraft to carry high payload with minimum empty weight.
• Working on development of compact aircraft with high payload fraction. We have designed one with 60 inches wing span, which can be completely packed in a cylindrical container of diameter 6 inches and 45 inches length in 10 parts.
• We are also working on quadcopters and solar powered RC Aircraft. The team is being lead by team captain Rohit Kumar under the able guidance of our faculty advisor Dr. Deepak Kumar along with team members Ayushi, Pranjal, Saket, Prasanjeet, Annanya, Karan, Sourav, Sayeri, Anjali, Ankit, Natasha, Ritik & Jaswanth

Empowering the Next Generation of Aero-Enthusiasts!

Team Phoenix, in collaboration with OJASS, successfully conducted the Design Dynamics and Drone Dynamics workshops under the Pre-OJASS 2026 banner for the 2k25 batch!
It was inspiring to see the energy in the room as we explored:
🔹 Design Dynamics: Breaking down the fundamentals of lift, drag, and flight mechanics to understand how RC aircraft transition from theory to reality.
🔹 Drone Dynamics: A deep dive into quadcopter assembly, flight controller calibration, and the technical precision required for stable flight.
From the basics of aerodynamics to hands-on tuning techniques, these sessions were all about bridging the gap between classroom theory and practical engineering.

A big shoutout to all the participants for their curiosity and passion. The future of aeromodelling at NIT Jamshedpur looks bright!

Before even founding SpaceX, Elon already had relationships with one of the world’s preeminent rocket engineers and the future head of NASA. This was because the mission, inspiring the public to get back to Space with the Mars Society’s rocket project, was that exciting.

On October 13, 2024, SpaceX totally rocked the aerospace world with a jaw-dropping feat of engineering—catching a massive 200-ton, 70-meter-long Starship booster mid-air using robotic arms. This isn’t just your average launch; it’s a next-level moment that’s making waves in the space community.

Imagine this: a booster that size coming down from the sky, and instead of crashing back to Earth, it gets snagged by high-tech robotic arms. That’s some serious sci-fi stuff right there! SpaceX is all about pushing boundaries, and this catch is a game changer for how we think about rocket recovery.

By pulling off this stunt, SpaceX is not just flexing its engineering muscle; it’s also slashing costs and making space travel way more sustainable. This move opens the door for future missions, including those ambitious trips to Mars.

As we celebrate the Festival of Lights, let’s remember that every spark, firework, and flicker follows the same principles we love to explore! From the lift of lanterns to the thrust of rockets, Diwali brings out the beauty of physics in motion.

May your Diwali soar to new heights with joy, prosperity, and wonder. Stay curious, stay inspired, and may your celebrations be as bright as our pursuit of flight!
