Who we are
What the lectures explain, in the air
DIANA is the aeromodelling association of the School of Industrial and Aerospace Engineering in Toledo. We design, build and fly fixed-wing drones and compete with them.
We were founded in 2022 at the School of Industrial and Aerospace Engineering in Toledo. Every year we design, build and fly a new aircraft, and each one carries forward what the last one taught. We work in the Sabatini guardhouses on the Fábrica de Armas campus.
