26 April 2017 was indeed a remarkable day for all the lecturers and students from USM, School of Aerospace Engineering.

Pameran yang melibatkan 3 buah pesawat tanpa pemandu (UAV) atau lebih dikenali sebagai drone bertujuan memberi pendedahan dan pengetahuan kepada para pelajar berkaitan bidang robotik penerbangan, sistem kawalan dan aplikasi drone dalam pelbagai bidang seperti fotografi, ketenteraan, pemetaan, bantuan kecemasan dan sebagainya. Berdasarkan sambutan yang diterima, para pelajar dilihat sangat berminat untuk melibatkan diri dalam bidang sistem kawalan robotik.
