2022 Plane

This year our group is entered in the advanced class competition. This requires (1) static and dynamic payloads, (2) an oral presentation to a panel of judges, and (3) a submission of a written report. The dropped payload is the Powered Autonomous Delivery Aircraft (PADA), which will be released from the main aircraft to its target zone; the static payload is water within the main aircraft, which will be transferred to a ground vehicle for travel.
Our team had a successful maiden flight on April 4th, 2022 at the SKSS Flying Field in Newark, DE. The test flight was performed with the help of the Silent Knights Soaring Society (SKSS). The video of our successful flight is shown below!

Pre-2021 Videos
In 2017-2018, eight senior mechanical engineers built the first plane for the organization. In 2018-2019, the team went to the SAE Aero Design Competition for the first time. In 2019-2020, eleven senior mechanical engineering students designed an RC plane fitting the constraints of the 2020 competition rules. Their videos are shown below.
