SAE Aero Design Team

Home » Student Organization » SAE Aero Design Team
The SAE Aero Design competition gives students a real world design challenge that compress a typical aircraft development program into one calendar year. This competition requires participants to go through the systems engineering process by breaking down the entire design requirements of a flyable airplane into their specific needs and then to propose, design, fabricate, build and then test an airplane that meets those requirements.

The benefits of SAE Aero Design are:

It gives students the opportunity to collaboratively work together on focused task of creating an airplane that meets specific performance goals.

It exposes participants to the many aspects of conceptual design, manufacturing, system integration/test, and through performance demonstration of their aircraft at competition.

The competitions give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creativity and engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world.

At Lawrence Tech engineering students can use their work on SAE Aero Design to fulfill their senior capstone design project requirements.

This team competes in the regular class against teams from around the world, they design, build, test, and fly a heavy-lift radio-controlled aircraft with a set of constraints.
