The SkyHawk Design: Engineering in Tandem

Now, after the danger of design piracy has passed, and the hectic report submission phase is done and dusted, we unveil our plane through the web! The team's motto ' Engineering in Tandem', quite literally taken means engineering done one-behind-the-other. Applied to aircrafts, the one point that may hit home is the tandem configuration, i.e. two full sized aircraft wings.


Illustrated to the left is the team's computer-generated aircraft model. Actual photographs may not be uploaded till after the competition, due to possible misuses.

The plane has undergone successful flight trials with and without payload,giving a lot of promise for a more-than-decent show at Aero Design West 2011 at Fort Worth, Texas.

Thanks go out to our university for supporting us so far.
