Student teams will design, fabricate, and demonstrate the flight capabilities of an unmanned, electric powered, radio controlled aircraft which can best meet the specified mission profile. The goal is a balanced design possessing good demonstrated flight handling qualities and practical and affordable manufacturing requirements while providing a high vehicle performance.
About Us
Aeronautics at UT Dallas
Present Design: The team is constructing a 5 foot wingspan turboprop, capable of holding a payload of 5kg and carry a 20 foot banner behind the plane.
Present Challenges: Performing higher-level design analysis, working with composite materials, implementing stability and control equations into our design.
Future: Obtaining a high score in the initial proposal will give the team a higher chance of success with sponsors. Creating flight-worthy aircraft by the end of November will prepare us for the report (Due February).
