Leopard Aviation is composed of 9 Mechanical Engineering students and our advisor, Mr. Lou Hayden. We have entered into the SAE Aero Design East competition on April 8 and 9th in Deland, Florida. Combined with a design report and 10 minute oral presentation, the object of the competition is to make a successful flight with the maximum payload possible. Once preliminary research had been done, the group split up into 7 teams: Aerodynamics, Weight and Center of Gravity, Propulsion, Stress, Controls, Flight Dynamics, and the Inventor Modeling.
Leopard Aviation placed first place in the Regular Class for the Oral Presentation. We also placed second place for Overall Design, which takes into account both the Oral Presentation and the Design Report. Awards were won for both of these accomplishments. In the end, we placed 8th overall after the flying part of the competition. The team members are: Dan Berteletti, Sam Blaiss, Brian Hauser, Michael McGinnis, Mark Trybulski, Andrew Sanchez, Wayne Scott, Matt Young and John Zazzu.
