Design Build Fly at UCLA will be holding our annual Design Review to discuss the current design choices of our competition aircraft and receive feedback from several professors and mentors.

Email dbf.ucla@gmail.com for more information!

The DBF Aerodynamics team determines the basic dimensions of the aircraft, and makes decisions about all aspects of the wing and tail sections. Additionally, aerodynamic effects of anything carried outside the aircraft body (i.e a banner or footballs) are investigated to determine their effect on aircraft performance.

The DBF Computer-Aided Design (CAD) team generates three-dimensional drawings using computer software that helps us design and manufacture our plane! In many cases, these computer drawings are directly used to 3D-print or laser-cut aircraft parts. We are currently working on getting a 3D model of our aircraft drafted. 

Email dbf.ucla@gmail.com for Zoom Link!

The DBF Manufacturing team is responsible for building the entire aircraft from the ground up.  We do parts fabrication and assembly based on designs from the CAD team using carbon fiber, 3D printed plastics, wood, and a variety of other materials. We are working on building a manufacturing plan to construct our aircraft safely and separately at home.

The DBF Propulsion & Electronics team is responsible for selecting and testing the electric propulsion system components for the aircraft. We also set up any other electronics for the aircraft, such as servo actuators and the receiver/transmitter.
