About
Anthony Damelio is an emerging researcher in aerospace and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) engineering, with a focus on hybrid aircraft design and sustainable aviation technologies. His most cited work, "Airplane-Quadcopter UAV Hybrid Incorporating Power Regeneration Technologies & Weight Minimization" (2022), represents a significant contribution to extending the endurance and range of electric UAVs. As part of a student engineering team at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Damelio helped pioneer the integration of in-flight power regeneration systems and structural battery components into a novel airplane-quadcopter hybrid platform. This work addresses a critical limitation of electric UAVs—short flight times—by recovering energy during flight and reducing overall weight through multifunctional structures. While his citation count is still growing (4 citations), the project demonstrates innovative thinking in merging aerodynamic efficiency with energy harvesting. Damelio’s research sits at the intersection of UAV design, power electronics, and lightweight materials, offering practical solutions for longer-duration drone operations in surveillance, delivery, and environmental monitoring. His work exemplifies how undergraduate-led research can push boundaries in sustainable aviation.
