Hello, I'mDoddigariSai Charan

Gagana Netra is a research and development project focused on designing and building a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of achieving ultra-long endurance flight using renewable energy. The aircraft is intended to operate primarily on energy generated by high-efficiency solar panels integrated into the wings and carefully evaluated airflow energy-harvesting mechanisms. A lightweight LiPo battery is included only as a backup power source for takeoff, low solar conditions, and emergency situations rather than as the primary source of propulsion. The project aims to maximize energy efficiency through an optimized aerodynamic airframe, lightweight composite construction, efficient propulsion, intelligent power management, and maximum power point tracking (MPPT). By integrating renewable energy technologies with advanced UAV design, Gagana Netra seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of sustained flight with minimal dependence on stored battery energy. The long-term objective is to develop an aircraft capable of setting a new endurance benchmark in the under-10 kg UAV category through rigorous engineering, simulation, prototype testing, and flight validation.
