Our Mission
Purdue SAE Aero is dedicated to advancing aerospace engineering through innovative design, hands-on experience, and competitive excellence. Our team focuses on developing cutting-edge aircraft solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible in aerospace technology.
We participate in the SAE Aero Design competitions, where students design, build, and fly remote-controlled aircraft to compete in various challenges. This provides our members with invaluable real-world engineering experience.
Our Goals
- Design and build competitive aircraft for SAE competitions
- Provide hands-on engineering experience to students
- Foster collaboration between different engineering disciplines
- Promote aerospace education and innovation at Purdue
- Develop the next generation of aerospace engineers
