AeroClub KIET is the official student-led aerospace and innovation club of KIET deemed to be University, bringing together passionate engineers, researchers, and innovators to explore the future of aviation, intelligent systems, and applied sciences. We believe that great engineering is built on strong fundamentals, interdisciplinary collaboration, and hands-on innovation.
At AeroClub KIET, we go beyond classrooms by transforming ideas into working prototypes through research, innovation, and collaboration. Whether it's building an aircraft, developing autonomous systems, or strengthening engineering fundamentals, we provide an ecosystem where students learn, create, and lead. Our mission is simple: to nurture future aerospace engineers, AI innovators, and problem solvers capable of shaping the technologies of tomorrow.
Our club is organized into three specialized wings:

The National Drone Community Meet held in Ludhiana in March, 2024 brought together aeromodelling hobbyists, drone developers, NCC aeromodelling instructors, and students from multiple colleges for collaborative flying sessions and technical discussions. The meet provided participants with valuable insights into UAV technologies, aeromodelling practices, and advancements in the drone ecosystem.
A workshop on Advanced Drone Development Systems was conducted as part of the Student Induction Program in October 2024 for first-year students, where sessions were held on drone technologies, their advancements, and real-world applications. The workshop also emphasized product design methodologies and provided students with practical insights into engineering and system development processes.
A technical presentation and discussion session was conducted at the Hybrid Nanodevice Research Group (HNRG), led by Prof. Shaibal Mukherjee at IIT Indore, on the application of Hyperspectral Imaging in drone-based precision agriculture. The session focused on UAV-integrated hyperspectral sensing for crop monitoring, disease detection, and agricultural analysis. Valuable insights and technical guidance were received from the HNRG research team re... Read More
For Smart India Hackathon 2025, research was conducted on the microscopic detection and quantification of microplastics, focusing on developing an efficient and optimized detection methodology. The work was carried out with support from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, IIT Delhi, Department of Applied Sciences, KIET deemed to be University, and Gaurav Joshi’s laboratory at the Innovation Center, KIET. The research primarily ai... Read More
Project MALLEATE-A100 was conceptualized and designed under a scheme associated with the Ministry of Defence, focusing on the development of a rapidly deployable modular UAV system. The project aimed to create a drone platform that could be designed within 20 minutes and fully assembled in constrained or remote operational environments where transportation of large UAV systems is not feasible. The system emphasized compact deployment architecture... Read More
Project Tailsitter was undertaken during October–November 2025 with the objective of designing a short takeoff and long-endurance UAV platform as part of an indigenous niche-technology initiative focused on high-altitude tactical surveillance and advanced autonomous aerial system development.
