Support of AIAA Student Aircraft Design/Build/Fly Competition

Abstract

This report is made up of the combined reports of 28 separate teams of students who entered the 2000 Design, Build & Fly Competition. The objectives of the Design. Build & Fly Competition were to have students teams design, build and fly unmanned remote control electric aircraft designed for two specific missions: a short-field cargo sortie and a cruise/ferry sortie. A "fly-off" took place on the Cessna Aircraft Field near Wichita, KS in April 2000. Winners of the contest: 1st place, Utah State University; 2nd place, Oklahoma State University; 3rd place, University of Illinois. The Design, Build & Fly Competition was supported by Cessna, the Office of Naval Research and the AIAA Foundation.
