The 2023-2024 competition year was an eventful year for the team to say the least. The team took part in SAE Aero Design West after a hiatus of 2 years and leaped to make the largest aircraft in the history of the team. We also reached in the United States after 4 year attending the flyoffs for both SAE Aero Design as well as AIAA. The year was accompanied with a number for challenges for the team which were strategically overcome.
The members of the team conducted a first of its workshop on basics of RC Aircrafts and Aero Design in the college for the students. The workshop comprised of concepts and theries and their practical applications culminating into a bespoke airplane designed to adhear and perform within the rules of a given competition. This workshop was a success with the total attendence being greater than 150 students.
The team during the competition year designed and fabricated the largest aircraft in the teams history boasting a wing span of 156 in or 3.96 m. Due to the larger wing span this aircraft had to overcome issues in the aspect of structure strength and bearing of loads as a consequence.
