QuoteBangalore: The National Design and Research Forum (NDRF), which includes top scientist and one of the brains behind the project K Ramachandra, saw the '+copter' built by its partner Throttle Aerospace Systems (TAS) fly to the designated area. Although the vehicle didn't carry an organ, the technology of picking a predefined geo-tagged location and landing the vehicle there was tested. The vehicle carried a 3kg first-aid kit on the 17-minute flight.

TAS founder Nagendran Kandasamy said: "We carried the payload for about 10km in the custom built vehicle." A multi-rotor UAV guided by a tablet-based Android ground control software had no problem in picking the right latitude and longitude for the journey and the delivery point. "We gave a live feed of the whole operation," Nagendran said, adding that their platform is flexible enough to carry first-aid kits, blood bags and organ bags.
