There are two flagship projects that the team worked on during the 2024-25 season. The regular class and advanced class projects focus on vehicle design are in preparation for the SAE Aero Design competition held in April 2025.
REGULAR CLASS
Equinox was our 2025 regular class aircraft. Designed and built as a high lift electric aircraft capable of lifting up to 55 lbs. Featuring a wingspan of 15 ft, the vehicle remains one of the largest flying vehicles built by students from scratch in the world.
ADVANCED CLASS
For our advanced class aircraft in SAE Aero Design 2025, we created Eclipse, a fully autonomous tilt-rotor vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) aircraft inspired by the V-22 Osprey. Flying with a largely-composite airframe, the vehicle utilizes machine vision and controls algorithms to efficiently complete payload capture.
