NIT Raipur and AKSI Aerospace plan centre for drone and aerospace research
NIT Raipur and AKSI Aerospace Group plan a Centre of Excellence focused on aerospace and autonomous technologies.
The centre is intended to connect the institute’s research with industrial applications and give students hands-on engineering experience.
Its work is expected to cover drones, flight controls, propulsion, batteries and advanced materials, along with prototyping, manufacturing, integration and testing.
The partnership aims to help turn research into practical products and build skills for India’s aerospace and unmanned aircraft sectors.
AKSI Aerospace also plans a manufacturing facility in Raipur, which would link the centre’s development and training work with industrial production.
The technologies could be used in areas including agriculture, logistics, surveillance and disaster response; the plans are described as proposed, with no opening date given.
