SAE Aero Club

Team Garuthmaan — The Aero Club of JIT

Founded 2017 | Jyothy Institute of Technology

Welcome to the hangar of Team Garuthmaan, the Aero Club of Jyothy Institute of Technology (JIT). We are a multidisciplinary team of aviation enthusiasts, with a simple mission: turn ambitious, out-of-the-box designs into aircraft that conquer the skies. For us, aeromodelling is engineering as art—where structural elegance meets aerodynamic perfection.

What We Do

  • Systematically design and engineer advanced fixed-wing aircraft and agile multi-rotors.

  • Develop, configure, and optimize every system for peak performance and efficiency throughout our workflow.

  • Execute precision fabrication to turn complex designs into reality.

Vision: Design. Develop. Deliver.

  • Long-Term Goal: To build skilled teams of individuals capable of contributing to the aircraft development process and ensuring optimal functionality.

  • The Objective: To develop commercial-grade platforms with real-world use cases, engineered to the highest standards of excellence.

  • Current Focus — SAE Aero Design 2027: We are in active development for the SAE Aero Design 2027 competition, with our team fully engaged across the design and analysis phases.
