Design, Build, Fly

AIAA DESIGN, BUILD, FLY COMPETITION

This past year marks the largest-ever fly-off participation, with more than 1,000 students on 93 university teams attending onsite. The flyoff was hosted by AIAA Corporate Member Textron Aviation in Wichita, Kan. Teams from 12 countries, including 32 US states participated in the full DBF Competition, including submitting design reports and attending the flyoff.  



AIAA has previously participated in Design, Build, Fly as a capstone project; however, we are looking towards having this opportunity for students more often in the coming years
