AERO Design

Join us on our mission to design and build an airplane for the AERO Group 2012 Competition in Van Nuys, California. Led by Chase Beatty and organized by Brian Martinez, the team is working on creating a plane that can meet specific performance criteria. From take-off within 200ft to landing within 400ft, our design must also fly in a circle and adhere to weight restrictions. We are utilizing materials like Balsa Wood and Engine to construct the aircraft, with a focus on innovation and practical engineering. This project, overseen by SAE advisor Dr. John Tester, aims to showcase our skills and dedication as we aim to bring our design to life for the upcoming competition.
