AERO PARTNERS
Thank you to our sponsors and community partners
Without the support we receive from our sponsors and community partners the team would not be able to assemble and compete our UAV’s.
The nature of a student run club leads to a lack of funding and hard times acquiring more expensive components. Thanks to our current sponsors and donors we are able to create new designs and compete at the annual Aerial Evolution Association of Canada.
UVic Center for Aerospace Research
“At UVIC CfAR we catalyze innovation and develop unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and spacecraft buses, payloads and Earth stations for research, commercial and military applications. The design, development, manufacturing and flight testing of scaled air-vehicle demonstrators, as well as CubeSats and microsatellites allows for the low-cost opportunity to evaluate vehicle performance, novel aircraft and spacecraft configurations and emerging technologies in a reduced risk environment. Unique and cutting-edge payloads can be vindicated by placing aboard a range of already flight-proved fixed wing aircraft, small satellites, and multirotors built by UVIC CfAR.” — University of Victoria Centre for Aerospace Research [UVic CfAR], n.d.
CONAIR AERIAL FIREFIGHTING
For over 55 years Conair has lead the aerial firefighting industry, supporting numerous governments both locally here in British Columbia and internationally with the largest privately owned fixed-wing fleet in the world. Conair has been a loyal and long time Sponsor of UVic AERO allowing us to get to competition last year in Medicine hat with our Autonomous wildfire fighting drone the Firefly.
