About Us
Cornell Design Build Fly is a student-run project team which develops, tests and optimizes a custom radio-controlled aircraft to compete in the annual AIAA Design Build Fly competition. The team is comprised of the Aerodynamics and Controls, Mechanical, and Propulsion subteams. Each year the team works to produce an aircraft that meets the unique mission requirements of that year’s competition. The team’s success is predicated upon it’s innovative design approach, use of cutting edge rapid prototyping methods, and the creativity of our dedicated members. Cornell DBF trains members to apply theoretical coursework to formulate novel engineering solutions to complex design challenges.
