As the end of 2020 approaches, we would like to give some shoutouts to our sponsors this year. We would like to give a huge thank you our Title Sponsor, UBC Mechanical Engineering, for their support despite the ongoing pandemic. Since the founding of UBC AeroDesign (formerly known as UBC Heavy Lift) in 1992, UBC Mech has been supporting our team with both financial and facility resources. We are extremely grateful for your support all these years. ____... The Department of Mechanical Engineering at UBC Vancouver is a world leader in mechanical engineering and research.

In June, our team competed in the SAE AeroDesign West 2020 competition. We’re excited to officially announce that our Regular Class Team placed First Overall, and our Advanced Class Team placed Third Overall! Thank you to our sponsors, SAE, and everyone who supported us along the way! We hope everyone is doing well during this uncertain times.

Despite COVID-19 restrictions, our 7 subteams spreading across 11 disciplines spent countless hours in both preliminary and detail design. This coming weekend, the whole team will be coming together to review the design progress of both the 2020-21 Regular and Advanced Class aircrafts. #UBCAD #designreview #ubcaerodesign #studentdesignteam #validation #designbuildfly #universityofbritishcolumbia #ubc #ubcmech #ubcappliedscience #rcplanes #aircraft #aviation #rcplane #diy #diyplane #hobby #diyrc #avgeek #remotecontrol #remotecontrolled #rchobby #engineering #competition #saeaerodesign #saebc #sae

And....... We are officially registered for the 2021 SAE Aero Design Knowledge Event for both Regular and Advanced Class! This year, we are taking part in a virtual competition, where we will submit a design report and give a design presentation for our aircrafts. Despite the online nature of competition this year, we are just as excited to move along with our design and explore new analysis techniques! #UBCAD #registration #ubcaerodesign #studentdesignteam #designbuildfly #universityofbritishcolumbia #ubc #ubcmech #ubcappliedscience #rcplanes #aircraft #aviation #rcplane #diy #diyplane #hobby #diyrc #avgeek #remotecontrol #remotecontrolled #rchobby #engineering #competition #saeaerodesign

Introducing our Regular Class subteam design leads! "Knowledge and hard work makes us a winning team; Passion and friendship however makes us a rewarding one. - Marco Leung The Regular Class mission features the challenge of carrying an outsized cargo while optimizing payload with a runway limit of 100ft and a maximum wingspan of 120in. #UBCAD #ubcaerodesign #aboutus #meettheteam #universityofbritishcolumbia #ubc #ubcmech #ubcappliedscience #rcplanes #aircraft #aviation #rcplane #avgeeks #diy #diyplane #flighttest #rchobby #engineering #saeaerodesign

Introducing our Advanced and Split Class subteam design leads! Watching our effort take flight is one of the most rewarding aspects of being on this team! - Phoebe Cheung The Advanced Class plane features carbon fibre reinforced polymers, allowing us to tackle additional mission requirements such as the dropping of autonomously controlled gliders and payload into targeted drop zones!... #UBCAD #ubcaerodesign #aboutus #meettheteam #universityofbritishcolumbia #ubc #ubcmech #ubcappliedscience #rcplanes #aircraft #aviation #rcplane #avgeeks #diy #diyplane #flighttest #rchobby #engineering #saeaerodesign
