SAE Aerodesign

SAE Aero Design, also called the SAE Aero Design Collegiate Design Series, is a series of competitive mechanical engineering events held in the United States and Brazil every year. It is conducted by the SAE International. It is generally divided into three categories: Regular class, Advanced class and Micro class.[1][2][3]

Regular class

SAE Aero Design regular class requires teams to construct a plane within specified parameters annually updated on the SAE Aero Design website. Each team is judged on three categories: Oral presentation, written report, and flight. The objective of the regular class is to design and construct a radio-controlled model aircraft that will lift the largest payload while still maintaining structural integrity.

gollark: Or you could end up with a seizure or something because a buffer overflow in some random driver code caused the neural interface to crash in some weird way.
gollark: Or you might end up getting viruses overwriting your belief system or something. Fun!
gollark: I mean, I read about new !!FUN!! vulnerabilities in stuff every week, and these things will probably be running rather complex software.
gollark: I mean, I trust computers to do exactly as they're told, but software stacks are horrifically complex and insecure.
gollark: As I've said a bit before, I *do not trust computers enough* to connect one to my brain.
