Project Description:
The AIAA through the Applied Aerodynamics, Airplane Design, Design Engineering and Flight Test Technical Committees and the AIAA Foundation invites all university students to participate in the Textron Aviation/Raytheon Student Design, Build, Fly Competition. The contest will provide a real-world airplane design experience for engineering students by giving them the opportunity to validate their analytic studies. Student teams will design, fabricate, and demonstrate the flight capabilities of an electric powered, remote controlled airplane that can best meet the specified mission profile. The goal is a balanced design possessing good flight handling qualities and practical and affordable manufacturing requirements while demonstrating high vehicle performance.
