The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aero Team at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is an organization which is dedicated in promoting opportunities for students to apply their knowledge to aerospace projects outside of the classroom. SAE annually hosts an international Aero Design Competition in which students from dozens of universities are given constraints to design, build, and fly a radio controlled airplane. The NJIT Aero Team will participate in the Regular Class Competition in which the craft must carry an optimal ratio of tennis balls payload plates which are representative of “passengers” and “luggage” to maximize points.
