University of Michigan AIAA Aircraft Design, Build, Fly Team.
Our aircraft are all designed and built from the ground up each year to compete in the AIAA Design, Build, Fly competition.
Our mission is to provide our members with the opportunity to get hands on engineering experience and develop them with professional skills, while providing a fun and safe environment to meet and engage with other engineers.
Hands on engineering work to take you beyond the classroom.
Our primary goal is to get engineers excited and involved in real design work, that goes beyond the theories that they learn in class. Our aircraft are fully redesigned every year so there is lots of opportunity to learn and get hands on experience with as much of the aircraft as you want.
A small team environment so you can have an immediate impact.
Hate being delegated to menial tasks and sanding wood for a whole year before you can start participating in design? So do we. That why we keep our team small so that each member can have as much impact on the final design and construction as they want. Our small team also allows new members a lot of quick leadership opportunities.
Increase your desirability with potential employers.
We want our engineers to be successful after they leave school and engineering design teams have become a key aspect of securing jobs. Which is why we use industry standard software such as NX and Teamcenter so our members have a leg up on the competition. We also provide access to networking opportunities with our sponsors and other companies.
Thank you to our sponsors.
