About the project: The need for sustainable travel is greater than ever! Will you help us build a solar-powered airplane and pave the way to a greener future in aviation? Our final plane will have a wingspan of over 5 meters and fly autonomously in the Mojave desert for WEEKS without landing. Achieving this ambitious goal will require motivated students to design, prototype, and test planes at multiple stages of the engineering process.

What you'll learn: The Solar Airplane Project provides students hands-on experience building a solar-powered plane and practicing skills often used in aerospace and related industries. You'll have the opportunity to learn carbon fiber layup, resin infusion techniques, solar encapsulation, CADing, 3D printing, laser cutting, and much more!
