WHAT WE DO
We are developing a completely new reusable environmentally friendly aircraft!
The project aims to create an environmentally friendly and reusable aircraft controlled by artificial intelligence. The aircraft uses electric motors and rechargeable batteries powered by solar panels, making it a completely eco-friendly vehicle. The use of artificial intelligence allows for complete control of all aircraft systems. Advanced technologies such as computer vision, navigation, and terrain recognition are also utilized. The combination of reusability, environmental friendliness, and artificial intelligence gives the aircraft a unique advantage. This technology can be applied to other unmanned vehicles in various areas of human life.
Important technologies that are used
AISHIP is not just an aircraft, it is a project whose goal is to use various technologies that can be applied in other projects. Here is some of them:
Multithread
Multi-threaded code allows to simultaneously perform multiple actions, control the position of the motors, transmit data, record video, and analyze incoming data from sensors for further flight calculations.
Technology of two-way data transmission over a satellites
To ensure communication over long distances, a satellite communication module will be used. With the help of Iridium satellites, the aircraft will transmit information to a special web server where it will be analyzed and stored.
Active motor stabilizer
A stabilizer is a component used to maintain stability and correct orientation during flight.
Telemetry
Telemetry is very important to control and analyze the flight of an aircraft, and based on this data, optimal settings can be calculated to improve future flights.
Electric turbine
The aircraft will be equipped with an electric turbine that has the following specifications: a length of 185.5mm, weight of 435g, EDF thrust of 5-6kg, a 105mm EDF diameter with 11 blades, and a metal turbine cover. The turbine is powered by a 1900Kv out-runner motor and requires a 6-cell, 22.2V battery.
Autopilot
Autopilot, powered by AI, takes control of the aircraft. Using predictive algorithms, the AI anticipates potential deviations of the aircraft and adjusts its alignment in advance. As a result, the aircraft maintains a higher level of stability during flight.
Land recognition
Land recognition is an application of artificial intelligence that involves using computer vision and machine learning algorithms to identify and classify different types of land or terrain.
Auto navigation
Computer vision enables AISHIP to detect objects and landmarks, which can be cross-referenced with a map. This capability allows AISHIP to navigate back home even in the absence of communication. GPS enhances route planning, provides accurate positioning and altitude information during flight. By comparing camera images with the map loaded into its computer, AISHIP can determine its position.
First prototype
The initial prototype of AISHIP incorporates simpler technologies and components. It serves as a testing platform to explore various ideas and showcase a preliminary version of the aircraft. This prototype allows for experimentation and validation of different concepts before further development and refinement of AISHIP.

Second prototype
We’ve revamped the design and, thanks to new tools, we’ve printed the necessary parts with our 3D printer. Now we are utilizing more durable materials, and most importantly, the symmetry and precision of the construction have significantly increased. The second prototype is crucial, as it is set to gain fortune and embark on its maiden test flight!
AISHIP CONTROLLER APP
Our team has developed our own software for managing AISHIP. This powerful application collects and analyzes data from all the sensors and modules of the aerial vehicle, as well as manages the flying apparatus in either manual or automatic mode.
Intuitive Design
The design of our application is highly intuitive, while simultaneously encompassing a multitude of useful features.
Information Gathering
Telemetry plays a crucial role in testing and debugging. For this purpose, we have enabled simultaneous recording of all charts into a separate file, which can be analyzed post-testing. The program supports the concurrent operation of more than 27 charts, each of which can be analyzed individually.
Managing AISHIP via the Application
The application also supports wireless configuration of AISHIP within a 1-kilometer range. This encompasses a comprehensive update of autopilot settings as well as facilitating a manual control mode.
