The Faras team had gained a place among the 3 top teams in the first round of the competition which was held in June for their proposal on the engine design competition.
As many as 15 teams had submitted proposals in the first phase of the competition, and Iranian students had won a place among the top 3 teams for their proposal on designing engines for a hybrid electric medium altitude long endurance search and rescue UAV, according to a report on the website of Sharif University.
