This report is made up of the combined reports of eight separate teams of students who entered the 1997 Design, Build Fly Competition. The objectives of the competition were to have student teams design, build and fly unmanned remote control electric aircraft designed for maximum range on a limited battery. A fly-off took place on a private airstrip at Ragged Island, Md., in April 1997. Winners of the contest: 1st place, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; 2nd, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and University; 3rd, Texas AM University. The Design, Build Fly Competition was supported by Cessna, the Office of Naval Research and the AIAA Foundation.
