College Of Engineering: Aerospace Engineering Senior Project

Our team is a senior project group hoping to design a RC model version of a a fire surveillance aircraft. The main design team are all seniors in Aerospace Engineering, but we also have some freshmen team members who are participating in the coding and computer aided design portion of the project. The aircraft that we want to actuate is a smaller, testable version of a bigger aircraft. It is a fire surveillance aircraft that will be able to fly long distances over large, fire prone areas in order to detect wildfires before they get out of control. There is a huge need for this kind of aircraft in wildfire prevention, as there are not many aircrafts that can do this. We need your help in raising money so that we can build an aircraft that effectively detects fires.
