The Michigan Tech SAE Aero Design Team is an industry-sponsored, university-affiliated organization made up of MTU students. Every year we design, build and test the performance of a radio-controlled airplane. The intent of the project is to design the plane within competition parameters to carry the maximum amount of weight. The team competes in an annual competition, sponsored in part by SAE, to test the design of the plane against planes from other colleges and universities from around the world.

We have weekly meetings where we work on our design plane, get to know each other, fly RC planes, and just have fun! So if you think you might be interested, come on out!
