Nowhere to go
but up.
MiniFlight EVTOL is WATFlight's first autonomous aircraft — vertical take-off, electric propulsion, and student-engineered from the ground up at the University of Waterloo.
EngineeringAutonomy.
From airframes to autonomous flight control, every system on MiniFlight EVTOL was designed, built, and tested by University of Waterloo students. The sky was never the limit.
