NUST UAVs are Chinese [[UAV]]s developed by [[Nanjing University of Science and Technology]] (NUST), most of which are [[experimental aircraft|experimental UAVs]] developed to explore various technologies.

==Flying Suction Robot==
Flying Amphibian UAV is an UAV developed by a team of NUST headed by instructor Mr. Liu Yong (刘永). The complete name of this UAV is Flying Suction Amphibious Reconnaissance Robot (Fei-Xing Xi-Fu Liang-Xi Zhen-Cha Ji-Qi-Ren or feixing xifu liangxi zhencha jiqiren, 飞行吸附两栖侦察机器人), often abbreviated as Flying Suction Robot (Fei-Xing Xi-Fu Ji-Qi-Ren or Feixing xifu jiqiren,飞行吸附机器人) and it is also known as Spy Shadow Rotary Aircraft (Die-Ying Xuan-Ji or dieyingxuanji, 谍影旋机). Flying Suction Robot UAV is a quadcopter with landing consists of a pair of skids. The suction cup enables the UAV to suck to any surface and also allows to suck on surface on sides, and this allows the shutdown of the motors to conserve battery power, and allows prolong missions. The UAV is capable of automatically switch between suction mode and flying mode. Specification:<ref>[http://news.ifeng.com/mil/2/detail_2014_01/15/33036397_0.shtml Flying Suction Robot]</ref>

==Starfish 5==
'''Starfish''' 5 (Hai-Xing or Haixing, 海星) is a Chinese [[experimental aircraft|experimental UAV]] developed by [[Nanjing University of Science and Technology]] (NUST) to gain knowledge of carrier landing technology. Starfish 5 resembles a scaledown version of [[AAI RQ-7 Shadow]] and adopts similar configuration, with [[tailhook]] added for [[aircraft carrier|carrier]] landing. The wing of Starfish can be folded to reduce space needed for storage onboard ships. Starfish 5 utilizes infrared camera, [[GPS]], [[ultrasound]] and remote control to achieve safe landing on carriers. Since GPS cannot provide accuracy up to centimeter level, it is assisted by ultrasound to provide such information. As image from infrared camera and accurate data from GPS and ultrasound are passed back to control station, operator remotely pilots the UAV to land. Starfish 5 UAV is developed by a team of NUST students headed by Mr. Yu Jintian (余劲天), a lecturer of [http://202.119.81.22/ School of Engergy and Power Engineering] of NUST.<ref>[http://news.qq.com/a/20111003/000289.htm Starfish UAV]</ref> Specification:<ref>[http://news.longhoo.net/2011-10/02/content_7138205.htm Starfish 5]</ref>
