This team handles the digital and behavioral reality of the vehicle—ensuring the aircraft can safely communicate with the ground, execute precise flight paths, and seamlessly transition between manual piloting and fully autonomous flight.

The Aerodynamics & Propulsion sub-team is responsible for the flight performance, stability, and power systems of the aircraft. This team handles the theoretical and electrical reality of the vehicle—ensuring the aircraft generates enough lift to fly, remains stable in the air, and has a reliable power system to sustain flight.

The Outreach & Administration sub-team is responsible for the organizational backbone, financial health, and public presence of the team. This team handles the logistical and operational reality of the project—managing team structure, securing funding, ensuring competition compliance, and building a professional brand identity that connects the team with sponsors and the community.
