2026–2027 Sponsorship Opportunities
Help Us Take Flight
Support the next generation of Aggie engineers. Your contribution helps our students design, build, test, and compete.
Student Designed. Student Built.
Our mission is to design, build, and test innovative radio-controlled aircraft for the AIAA Design Build Fly competition. Each year, we tackle three unique missions, developing hands-on aerospace engineering skills while pushing aircraft speed, payload capacity, and performance.
Originally established in 1997 and re-established in 2015, Texas A&M Design Build Fly continues a legacy of innovation and competitive excellence. In 2025, the team placed 23rd overall and completed all competition missions for the first time since 1999. In 2026, the team placed 31st overall and completed two missions at the Fly-Off in Wichita, Kansas.
