Pegasus 1

SMU engineering students built this scaled-down unmanned autonomous helicopter as proof-of-concept for fighting forest fires. Watch Pegasus 1 in action at dai.ly/UZLWmu.

 

The Innovation Gym in the Bobby B. Lyle School of Engineering enables SMU students to hone their engineering and creative skills by working on real world, design challenges, such as Pegasus 1.

 

Companies, researchers and non-profits all provide real challenges for the students to develop innovation solutions, often under intense time and financial pressure.
