PROJECT ORIGINS
The HeliTE major design project was born from the age-old dream of
human flight. The team has tasked themselves with designing and building
a prototype single-seat, easily transportable and electrical helicopter. This
ambitious project will show that it is possible using green enery and lowpower motors, to lift a person and retain all the advantages of conventional
helicopter maneuverability.
THE HELITE VEHICLE
The vehicle design chosen during the summer of 2015 is the result of many
months of research, calculations, analysis and design. During the preliminary
design phase, the helicopter took the shape of a quadcopter as shown below.
By envisioning a small vehicle that could fit in a minivan, the team hopes to
advance the accessibility of flight for the public.
THE DREAM TO FLY, A BRIEF LOOK...
Around 1500, Léonard de Vinci studied
the flight of birds and imagined flying
machines with mecanisms ressembling
bird wings.
He also considered many other ways
that might lead to flight. One of these
was a predecessor to the rotary-wing
aircraft.
By 1861, a usable helicopter has still not been
invented, but it was Gustave Ponton d’Amécourt
who first invented the term while depositing
a patent. He had designed a rotor capable of
lifting a quarter of his prototypes own weight.
It is not until 1907 that man leaves the
groundin a rotary-wing aircraft. This
feat is accomplished by the Jacques
brothers and Louis Breguet in their Gyroplane No.1, the first known example of
a quadcopter.

SOME INFORMATION
� The vehicle can be easily dissassembled and transported in a trailer.
� It is powered by 6 kWh of Lithium-Polymère batteries.
� Four brushless DC motors propel the vehicle.
� The pilot controls the vehicle with a RC radio transmitter.

THE TEAM
HeliTE is six driven mechanical engineering students, including three with an
aeronautical engineering profile. The group is composed of creative minds that
prioritise quality in every action. As a part of the Association des Transports
Électrifiés de l’Université de Sherbrooke (University of Sherbrooke Electrical
Transports Association) or ATÉUS, the team plans to grow in strength by welcoming
electrical engineering students in 2016.

THE BUDGET
HeliTE members are ready to face the numerous technological challenges
of this project, for which the total cost is estimated at 42 800 $ over two
years. We are looking for technical, financial and material support that
will help us make our dream “take off” in December of 2016!

YOUR HELP IS APPRECIATED
THE VISIBILITY PLANS
Your help is essential to the project’s success. In helping future engineers
accomplish the toughest challenge of their degree program, you can also
benefit from various visibility options. Our plan offers different ways to
publicize your company or logo, including on our website, in our promotional
videos and on the prototype itself! This is an opportunity to make yourself
visible during differents events reuniting over 6000 individuals! See below
We intend to participate in a number of events next year, including the MégaGÉNIALE what we have to offer in exchange for your support!
With the support of the Engineering faculty of the University of Sherbrooke, we
are looking for expert help, financial support and other kind of sponsorships which
will help us to literally take off by December 2016! By helping future engineers
achieve this great accomplishment in their baccalaureat degree, you will benefit
from many advantages.
exposition, which annually attracts thousands of visitors to the University. We
will also be present at the Faucheurs de Marguerites festival, where hundreds of
pilots and over 3000 visitors come to share in the spirit of aviation. In addition, we
are committing ourselves to promote science and technology to young students
in primary through high school to encourage them to continue their studies.
So how about becoming a partner in this exciting and challenging project?
