AIAA Student Aircraft Design, Build & Fly Competition. Volume 2

Abstract

This report is made up of the combined reports of 37 separate teams of students who entered the 2004 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 ferry mission and a fire bomber mission. A "fly-off' took place on the Cessna Air Field in Wichita, KS, in April 2004. Winners of the contest: 1st place, Oklahoma State University; 2nd, Oklahoma State University; 3rd, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Cessna, the Office of Naval Research and the AIAA Foundation supported the Design, Build & Fly Competition.
