Alfred University Drone Club (SaxonFly) Takes Off for Test Flight

A group of intrepid Alfred University Drone Club (SaxonFly) members met at Jericho Hill today to fly their Phantom 3 Professional drone.  The group of five flew for about an hour, testing and improving their flight skills on this windy day – nothing like field testing to get the heart pumping!

SaxonFly’s President and Vice-President, Eric Witowski (Senior, Mechanical Engineering) and Jason St. John (Junior, Finance), aim for weekly flights as they move forward to develop photographic, and precision agricultural commercial applications for their drones in Alleghany County and Steuben County.  Eric also mentioned that he hopes to work with the local high school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) training programs.

Fiat Lux!
