As a Structures and Material Science Designer for the 2022-23 SAE Aero Regular class season, there were many design challenges that I got to work on. The plane design for the 2022 season is particularly impressive because the 18-foot wingspan and large fuselage capacity allowed the plane to carry weight capable of reaching the FAA limit of 55 pounds and made this plane the biggest in Texas A&M history. In addition, our team had to make sure all design decisions followed the annually updated ruleset.
