Design, Build Fly Team will be exhibiting at KTU on Feb. 28th!

The Virginia Tech Design, Build Fly (DBF) Team is an all volunteer multidisiplinary team that must redesign a radio controlled aircraft each year to achieve new missions and rules. The VT chapter of AIAA serves as our parent organization since the competition is sponsored by AIAA. Every year they construct a new radio controlled model aircraft to complete a given set of missions, which are usually posted in late July.

Ware Lab
Virginia Tech is widely recognized as one of the top engineering schools in the nation, producing engineers that not only know the theory but have hands-on engineering experience. The Ware Lab is the focal point for hands-on projects in the College of Engineering and is the best place on campus to view many projects developed by our undergraduate students. From autonomous underwater vehicles to radio controlled aircraft, engineering students, at all levels, are encouraged to become part of a design team that expands their view of what an engineer can accomplish before and after graduation. Companies frequently visit the lab and meet with students to discuss potential opportunities for internship, co-op or full time employment. The “hands-on, minds-on” philosophy of the Ware Lab promotes real-life experience with engineering concepts before students step out into the working world.
