Lighter-Than-Air Vehicle by Rutgers University Engineering Team
 
This Lighter-Than-Air Vehicle was designed and fabricated to be a neutrally buoyant aircraft that is capable of motion in the six principle directions and extremely maneuverable.  Read more about this exciting project that won the Most Innovative Project award at Rutgers University here.  Congratulations on your successful project.
The LAV uses a MINOR receiver, two MBC3 speed controllers, two 170 mAh LiPo cells, and two MCF5030 props all from MicroInvent.  Two Blue Arrow 2.5 gram servos were used to move the carriage parts of the gyroscopic propulsion system.  This air vehicle is powered by two Gasparin G15 brushless Bee motors.
