Each of the 11 teams submitted Preliminary Design Reports in December and the teams from the top five ranked reports were awarded $300 each to help offset costs and competition travel expenses. Those teams were from Cooper Union, Delft University of Technology, University of Cincinnati, University of Maryland and University of Michigan. This remote-controlled eVTOL competition seeks to encourage interest in uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) technology, and small air vehicle design and fabrication. The competition is designed to develop hands-on skills and familiarization with electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology at the university student level and prepare the next generation of engineers and leaders to push the limits of this exciting technology into the future.
