TEQIP workshop on Dynamics and Control of Rotorcraft Dear Sir/Madam, We are pleased to announce that Knowledge incubation for TEQIP, IIT Kanpur is organizing a 5 day workshop from 02 to 06 February, 2018 on Dynamics and Control of Rotorcraft. This workshop aims to give the participants a broad overview of the field of dynamics and control of rotary wing aerial vehicles. More details about this event is on the next page and at: http://www.iitk.ac.in/tkic/workshop/dynamics-and-control-of-rotorcraft/ We cordially invite your TEQIP institute to participate in this event. All Interested Faculty members and PG students are encouraged to participate. TEQIP cell at IIT Kanpur will arrange for and cover the expenses of accommodation and food during the workshop for all participating delegates. Double occupancy rooms will be provided to all participants. TEQIP cell at home institute of each delegate is expected to cover their travel and other expenses. Delegates are requested to make their own travel arrangements to reach the workshop venue. We look forward to an enthusiastic participation from the teachers and students of your esteemed institute. To register for this course, please send the following information at the earliest, so that we can make the necessary arrangements.
