Mysore/Mysuru: A team of five final year mechanical engineering students from city’s Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering (VVCE) have excelled in the SAE International Aero-design East 2023, an international-level Radio Controlled (RC) aircraft design, build and fly competition held from Mar. 10 to 12 at Lakeland, Florida, USA.

The team competed against students from world-class Universities and secured an overall 7th position out of 11 teams that were selected for the final round. Over 50 teams had registered for the event.

The students were judged by experts and leading engineering minds, who evaluated them based on various criteria such as flying performance, payload carrying capacity, conveying the technical aspects of building RC aircraft through oral presentation, and design report preparation.

The competition required the teams to design, build and fly a remote-controlled aircraft capable of carrying maximum payload while maintaining maximum flight time.
