The 2021 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Design, Build, Fly competition required teams to construct an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a towed sensor. With this year’s competition being held virtually, teams from around the globe submitted video entries showing the design, construction and performance of their aircraft. The Daytona Beach team placed third for its submission, a Sensor Towing Air Tractor (STAT). The aircraft featured a conventional, twin-motor design and a sensor with tail fins towed below and behind the aircraft using deployment and retraction mechanisms. “The annual competition teaches our students about the essential engineering trade-offs in aircraft design to meet specific flight performance and mission requirements, similar to the actual aeronautical design problems faced by the industry,” said Aerospace Engineering professor and Daytona Beach faculty advisor J. Gordon Leishman.
The Prescott team received eighth place for its submission, Project Aquila. The team’s Integrated Product Team leads consisted of Aerospace Engineering students David Aksenfeld (’22), Evan Hefflin (’22), Jacob Kaufmann (’23) and Andrew Rogan (’22). Many of the team’s upper echelon were veterans from the year prior whose competition was cut short by the pandemic. “For the design of our plane, our main objective was to keep things simple,” said team project manager, Gavin McDaniel (’22). “We had proven last year that a high, conventional winged airframe constructed from laser-cut plywood and carbon fiber tubing met all of the checkmarks: it was capable, it was strong and it was quick to produce.” Altogether, the team built five aircraft throughout the spring semester, including an early aerodynamic test model.

Aerospace Engineering students Ethan Boone (’21), Patric Hruswicki (’21), Guillermo Mazzilli (’21, ’23), Caleb Reeves (’21) and Zefu Ren (’21, ’22) built two iterations of the aircraft followed by months of intense testing to meet the necessary requirements. The full team of over 15 students collaborated on STAT to bring home the campus’ highest award in competition history. “Becoming deeply involved in a technical project like Design, Build, Fly is the absolute best thing a student can do to set themselves up for their dream job,” said Reeves, the team’s chief engineer.
