The UCD Aerodesign Team is comprised of Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering students who work throughout the school year to design and build a heavy lift RC airplane. The plane is designed to lift a lot of weight (about 5 times its own empty weight) and must meet certain criteria (see Competition). |

The Aerobrick, as it is called, is constructed primarily of composite materials such as Carbon, Fiberglass and Kevlar. Since designing the plane (aerodynamic, structural, and otherwise) is heavily tied to construction, most students get hands-on experience on the actual airplane. We spend a great deal of time thinking about new and improved designs, how to make the plane lighter without losing stregnth, and getting our hands dirty. It's a great learning experience and lots of fun! |
