SPAROW

Team Lead - Ruby Sharrard

Subsonic Plane Autonomized with Reliable Optimized Wings, or SPAROW, is a project taking part in the AIAA Design, Build, Fly Competition. SPAROW is comprised of mostly Undergraduates from Freshman to Junior year, so the team is in the process of training and learning for the upcoming competition in 2025.

It is split into two sub teams: Airframe and Integrated Systems.

Airframe designs the UAS airframe and manufactures the airframe as well as any testbeds required by Integrated Systems. Integrated systems designs and manufactures all onboard systems and the ground station.

SPAROW has manufactured its first testbed, known as the "Goblin" and plans to begin testing active stability control systems soon.
