We are a team of MIT undergraduate and graduate students designing and building custom aircraft for the annual AIAA Design/Build/Fly competition.
Our students gain hands-on experience in everything aerospace, from conceptual design and aerodynamic analysis to CAD modeling and composite manufacturing. DBF gives students the opportunity to develop their technical, teamwork, and communication skills, while also exploring their interest in aeronautics.
We're always looking for passionate members! Want to build cool planes with us? Join!
A ton of LiPo batteries and our amazing sponsors!
Here are our previous competition entries! We've had 6 top 10 finishes in the past 15 years. Click on an aircraft to learn about its design.
