Team 25-26

We are the "UBI Aeronautics Team" composed of students specializing in Aeronautical Engineering and Computer Science Engineering from the Universidade da Beira Interior. After earning a 28th place out of 112 teams in DBF2025, in Tucson, Arizona, the team is now dedicated to an upcoming participation in ACC, slated for Stuttgart in June 2026.

Our team operates through a structured framework of 6 subsystems, each focusing on distinct aspects of project implementation. Each subsystem is led by a coordinator responsible for managing operations and providing comprehensive reports to the team leader. Additionally, we also have a Research and Development Section, whose work is to help the other sections'  projects.

 

Our mission extends beyond competition participation; we strive to advance aeronautical knowledge and innovation, contributing positively to both academic discourse and public awareness of aerospace technologies.
