Our Team

University of Alberta Aero Design is a student engineering design group. We are a group of undergraduate students from various disciplines that designs and builds remote controlled aircraft. We aim to provide students experiences in working in a student vehicle project and an exposure to real life challenges engineers face. Members gain valuable practical knowledge and experience in CAD, hands-on construction, control systems and trade studies such as FEA and CFD.
