Aerial Robotics
Last Monday December 18th the Mechanics and Engineering
department of the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Technological Institute
based in Kavala, held a one day exhibition.
The topic of it was ΄΄Aerial Robotics΄΄ and it was organized by the
Dean Professor Ilias Sarafis.
Professor Sarafis, a dear friend and a fellow rc pilot, combines his
scientific faculty with his passion for rc airplanes and drones.
Our team was kindly invited by Prof. Sarafis and despite the rainy
weather which made the transportation of the ΄΄heavily΄΄ equipped YAK 54 to
and from the exhibition hall a little bit adventurous, everything was set on
the previous day.
The exhibition hall which is actually one of the workshops of the
Engineering School is equipped among other high-end instruments with a
subsonic and a supersonic wing tunnel. A short demo was given in the
subsonic wind tunnel using smoke generator. The smoke fuel which was used
was similar to the one we use in our Powerbox smoke system installed in the
YAK 54!
The exhibition was open for the public from 10:00 till 20:00 in the
evening. Due to the specific topic of it, visitors from the other departments of
the Institute (Professors and College students) honored us by visiting and
spending a lot of time swarming though the exhibits.
As expected our YAK 54 was the epicenter of the visitors attention and
numerous discussions were held over the structure, the individual telemetric
functions and the airframe capabilities and performance of the YAK 54 with
A most distinguished visitor and good friend was the Air Force Colonel
(ret) Pilot Georgiadis Panagiotis, the organizing director of the KAVALA AIR
SEA SHOW, a long time supporter of our Team.
Also a very pleasant and most interesting time was spent with Chris
who is a pilot and flight instructor of the EGNATIA AVIATION FLIGHT
TRAINING COLLEGE which is based in Chrisoupolis International Airport
΄΄Megas Alexandros΄΄ 43 Km East of KAVALA.

At Monday evening the tiredness was noticeable but the opportunity
that we had to come in touch with distinguished members of the teaching staff
and students of the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Technological Institute as
long as other good friends and AVIATION IDEA lovers was unique! Our
Team’s cooperation with the Institute’s Aerial Robotics Division is going to be
enhanced in the future in an effort to absorb as much knowledge is possible.
