DESIGN BUILD FLY

Embry-Riddle teams master the ABCs of Design, Build, Fly. In the elite 2022 Design, Build, Fly competition, two groups of Eagle undergrads faced off against 69 other engineering teams from around the nation in a contest to design a medical support aircraft. The Eagles flew high, with two top-10 finishes, including a historic second-place honor. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students made major impressions with their entries in the 2022 Design, Build, Fly aircraft competition hosted by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). The team from the Daytona Beach Campus finished second overall — the best in school history — while the Prescott Campus team finished eighth. The four-day competition required students to design and produce a medical support aircraft that could transport syringes and deliver vaccine vial packages.
