First Test Flight
Preview of our initial test flight. The full video and lessons learned are featured below.
First Test Flight
The first test flight... the aircraft flew, just not how we expected to. This initial attempt taught us valuable lessons about aircraft stability and control systems that would prove crucial for our competition success.
Competition Test Flight
At the competition, the aircraft performed significantly better, demonstrating the improvements made from our testing phase. Key learnings from this experience include giving aeroelasticity a strong consideration in future designs and setting up a better timeline for development and testing phases.
