Aviation Design is a chance for students to gain hands-on experience and practice with aircraft design, construction, and test flying. Club members will be working in teams to design a remote-controlled aircraft in order to compete in an AIAA at UCF competition.
Aviation Design won the UCF Best Event of the Year award for the 2013-2014 competition!
Aviation Design begins each Fall and lasts until the end of Spring.
This project is encouraged for mechanical and aerospace majors, and is a great learning experience for new members and students from freshmen to seniors.

This is an international competition that involves the designing, building, and flying of a remote-controlled airplane. This aircraft must perform multiple missions which change each year, and must be completely rebuilt for each competition. DBF is organized by AIAA National, and has many teams from AIAA chapters and universities around the world.
This project begins each fall and is offered to select seniors and juniors in mechanical and aerospace engineering as it requires a great deal of knowledge with almost no assistance.

This project intends to develop a team for future rocket competitions. Members will learn more about the processes of building and launching rockets designed to reach specified target altitudes.
This project begins in fall and is open to any majors and years as it is a great learning experience.

Members are competing in teams to design and build a remote controlled hovercraft using the materials provided, including only one motor. At the end of the short build period (3-4 weeks) they will compete in a race against the other teams.
This project is done in cooperation with members from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at UCF, and is planned to take place each semester.
This project is open to all majors and years, and is a great learning experience for members.

This year AIAA UCF will have a team competing in the annual CanSat competition hosted by the American Astronomical Society, and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
This challenging competition will require a team of engineering students to design, build, and launch a payload device called a CanSat, that will simulate a probe landing on another planet. The CanSat must deploy from the rocket, take specific data and relay it to a ground station, slow its descent to a specific rate, and protect its payload (egg) on landing.
Due to the competition requirements, this project requires a small team of dedicated students from diverse technical backgrounds. More information about the project, and team openings can be found on the CanSat project page.

Do you have a knack for science and engineering? How about solving challenging real-world problems that no one has ever tackled before? Research is all about advancing next generation technologies by performing scientific investigations on the most interesting problems in engineering, and then writing publications so that other have access to our solutions.
UCF is home to top-notch engineering laboratories, and students get to experience graduate-level work first hand when joining one of our projects. Most of the undergraduate researchers go on to pursue their Master’s and PhD out of pure interest in the subject they are studying. If you’ve thought about graduate school, please take a look at what we have to offer and how they can help you achieve your goals.

The field of 3D printing has rapidly expanded exponentially in the past decade. If you have interest putting forth a contribution in making an experimental 3D printer this is a good opportunity for you.This project requires a small team of dedicated students from diverse technical backgrounds, to accomplish a goal not previously attempted by AIAA UCF.
