Capstone Project Leads to High-Speed Drone To Shadow Race Cars
For their capstone project, a group of mechanical engineering students led by David Lobo, E’24, developed a high-speed, first-person-view drone capable of traveling 187 mph while shadowing race cars. The drone could be a game changer in high-speed video capture.
