The objective of this MQP was to design, simulate, and build a radio-controlled airplane in accordance with the annual SAE Aero Design East competition rules (Regular Class). Through internal and external fundraising and careful resource allocation, the project goal was successfully achieved, and the team participated at the competition held in Lakeland, FL. The project was broken up by each academic term, with A term being dedicated to research, B term to design, and C term to construction. Aspects of project management, design layouts, analyses, manufacturing, and competition results are presented, and a discussion of the lessons learned and the recommendations for future improvements are provided.
