REGULAR DDC

The Regular Class challenges teams to build larger UAVs optimized for maximum payload capacity and aerodynamic stability. This category demands a fine balance of structural integrity, flight dynamics, and engineering excellence.

Team Griffin India designs and builds fixed-wing aircraft and multirotor drones for national-level competitions like SAE DDC (Micro & Regular Class) and Multirotor Challenges. We engage in aeromodelling, UAV prototyping, and real-world drone applications.
We work as a multidisciplinary team, dividing tasks across key domains.Each member in each domain contributes by specializing in design, simulation, fabrication, or testing ensuring a streamlined, collaborative workflow from concept to successful flight.
We’re driven by a passion for flight and a desire to innovate beyond the classroom. Our goal is to apply knowledge, sharpen engineering skills, and inspire the next generation of aerospace enthusiasts. We also strive to create a legacy by passing on our experience, learnings, and values to juniors—ensuring continuous growth of the team.
Team Griffin India is all set for its debut at SAE Aerothon, Bangalore — a launchpad for cutting-edge UAV innovation and real-world aerial challenges. Armed with fresh ideas and fierce determination, we're ready to explore new skies and proudly represent VIT Pune on this national stage.
