Builds new wing structure for aircraft. Assists other sub-teams in assembly of aircraft components. 

Designs, constructs, and modifies the fixed-wing airframe. Includes the wing spars, wing ribs, fuselage, and control surfaces. 

Conducts computational fluid dynamic analysis on the airframe using software such as ANSYS. 

Schedules flight tests with a resident UAV pilot and creates flight plans for each test. 

Integrates and facilitates communications between each sub-team. Responsible for assisting the project manager in tracking the budget, schedule, inventory, requirements, and risks & mitigations. (ECE and ARO)

Creates both hardware and software to allow for rapid data offloading from the UAV, ground/obstacle detection, and autonomous flight. 

Designs and constructs an autonomous ground station to replace the UAV’s batteries when depleted. Also implements induction coils for wireless charging during battery replacement.
