Cleiton Michaque, a 17-year-old Mozambican teenager, created an intelligent and multifunctional drone capable of mapping and surveying areas affected by natural disasters.

It is an aerial vehicle that can be remotely controlled by radio, satellite, or computer network, also known as a small helicopter or reconnaissance aircraft.

Cleiton developed his own drone using carbon fiber, which makes it resistant to falls and reduces engine noise emissions to the control panel. Weighing only 250 grams, the drone reaches impressive speeds of up to 240 km/h and flies at altitudes of up to 300 meters. According to the Kabum website, the equipment can be used for mapping and surveying areas affected by storms in the country, or also for sports.

Regarding its use in mapping, Cleiton believes that this could reduce the risks someone may have in case of carrying out this activity, since they will not need to approach the area, as with the equipment, it becomes possible to see the affected areas from a distance.

For Cleiton Michaque, this is not just another drone on the market but the first one developed in Mozambique. He recounts that his journey began with the creation of cars and robots, but it was in drones that he found his true passion, due to their advanced technology and ability to capture high-quality images.

In addition to his individual achievements, Michaque dreams of creating a club for young people interested in piloting drones, offering sports activities such as races and radical maneuvers. The young man believes that offering entertainment alternatives to boys and girls of his generation can provide them with constructive and engaging opportunities.
