Meet Storm. Engineered to respond.
AAST · Student UAS Team
Origin
We build. We don't just study.
SkyXperts started at AAST with a handful of students who wanted to build real autonomous aircraft instead of just reading about them. That hasn't changed. We're a full team now — avionics, structures, vision, control — designing and flying vehicles from scratch. Competitions like SUAS and ICMTC aren't the reason we exist. They're where we prove the work.

Special Thanks
Student-built. Sponsor-backed.
Every vehicle we fly depends on the people backing us with funding, hardware, facilities, and know-how. That support shows up in the build, not just on a page.
