SAE Aerodesign

Last updated

SAE Aero Design, also called the SAE Aero Design Collegiate Design Series, is a series of competitive aerospace and mechanical engineering events held in the United States and Brazil every year. It is conducted by 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 performance. 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.

The Louis Schwitzer Award is presented by the Indiana Section of SAE International to an engineer or team of engineers "for their innovative design and engineering excellence" and acknowledges "engineers with the courage and conviction to explore and develop new concepts in racing technology" in racing vehicles for the Indianapolis 500. The accolade also distinguishes engineers who were most responsible for designing and developing the winning concept complying to IndyCar Series technical regulations, and awards "functional and recent permutations" that improve energy efficiency, performance or safety in chassis, drive train profiles by "emphasizing competitive potential along with future automotive industry possibilities." Although the award specifically recognizes new concepts, experimental ideas arising from previous winners are considered if the development in engineering improves it.
