By joining the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics UNSW Design Build Fly team, each student will learn how to design, build and fly a complex RC aircraft as part of a multi-disciplinary team competing against the best universities from around the world.
Project Snapshot
About ChallENG Student Project
The AIAA UNSW Design Build Fly team was formed in late 2018 to compete in the annual AIAA Design Build Fly Competition in the United States. The specifications for the aircraft vary yearly, hence requiring fresh designs. This year’s requirements involve developing a multi-purpose aircraft to support carrier operations. Their mission is to provide students with hands-on experience and an avenue through which coursework is applied towards an aerospace engineering project.
The project time frame usually runs from Term 3 up until midway through Term 1, making this project fast-paced and perfect for anyone ready to get their hands dirty in practical design or manufacturing.
- The AIAA DBF Student Project team is looking for students who are passionate about the Aerospace industry and looking to enhance their degree by applying the knowledge they have gathered to solve real world engineering problems
- They welcome members from all faculties and disciplines as their projects require expertise in electrical, mechanical, aerospace and software engineering
- Apply theoretical coursework in a highly practical and focused project
- Learn how to operate and work within a multidisciplinary team
- AIAA provides fantastic opportunities to students who are passionate about the Aerospace industry
- The team offers the chance to expand your network both within the Aerospace industry and with your Aerospace peers across multiple universities
Strict conditions apply in order to receive Non-Traditional Industrial training for Student Projects and requires approval from the team academic. Being a member of a Student Project does not guarantee that you will receive a non-traditional IT placement and should not be the only motivating factor for joining a team.
