Design/Build/Fly at UCLA
The annual Design/Build/Fly competition brings in schools from all over the world to provide real-world aircraft design experience for engineering students. Teams are tasked with designing, constructing, and testing an unmanned, electric-powered, radio-controlled aircraft to meet specified design requirements. Along with the airplane, a professional design report must be submitted. In previous years, design requirements have included various different payloads, size constraints, and propulsion restrictions. Three missions must be completed with the plane, including one speed mission and two payload missions. Design and construction proceed from October through early March, leading up to the competition in mid-April. As part of the AIAA Student Branch at UCLA, DBF at UCLA provides its members the chance to develop practical engineering and leadership skills, through the design, fabrication, and testing of its aircraft.
