The event was attended by state representatives, deputies of the Milli Majlis, heads of non-governmental organizations, media representatives, public and political figures, the management board of Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU), students and other guests. The event was remembered by the presentation of the innovative drone project "M.AERO H10" developed by AzTU students. First,the participants of theevent laid flowers in front of the bust of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev in the lobby and expressed their respect for his memory. In the opening ceremony of the event, dear memory of the Great Leader and the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the sake of our territorial integrity and sovereignty was commemorated with a minute of silence and the National Anthem was played. Then, detailed information was provided about the main technical features of the drone. It was stated that the drone, which can operate in a fully authoritarian mode, has a reconnaissance camera system, a kamikaze function, high maneuverability and shock-absorbing wheels. With its aerodynamic structure, it floats in the air like a silent but willful being that can speak to the winds. All the software of the drone - from artificial intelligence to control - is the product of the students' own intellect. It was noted that the project is a clear result of the attention and care of the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev for young people, as well as his far-sighted policy. The choice of the name “H10” as “Heydar Aliyev 10” is not accidental - it is a symbol of the students' deep love and respect for the Great Leader. Through this project, they not only created technological innovation, but also brought to life the policy instilled in the youth by the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, turning his ideas into real results. The team members who worked on the project were invited to the stage and introduced to the public: Project Manager Rashvin Shirelizadeh, Engineer Anar Mammadov, Mechanic Adil Orujov, Electrical and Electronics Specialist Ismayil Rahimli, and Programmer Elmir Nabiyev. Expressing their inspiration from the glorious Victory won in our 44-day just war, the young people recalled the great role of unmanned aerial vehicles produced by the brotherly country Turkey in the Victory achieved in the Patriotic War. It was stated that the implementation of the project began two months ago, taking into account the advantages brought by the application of modern technologies. Talking about the drone they developed, the young people noted that thanks to the programs specially written for the camera, filming is carried out more accurately and functionally. Its stability in the air and flight accuracy are regulated by special algorithms. Its movements are gentle but decisive.
