Description

Design Build Fly is a student design team based out of the Virginia Tech Ware Lab. Each year we competed against other schools to design the best RC aircraft based on a provided RFP.

While leading the stability and control team, we designed, tested, and implemented the empennage and control surfaces for the aircraft, allowing for a stable and controlled flight.

  • Led the stability and control sub-team for Virginia Tech's Design Build Fly competition.
  • Designed and implemented the empennage and control surfaces for the aircraft.
  • Ensured stable and controlled flight through rigorous testing and analysis.
