The Team

We are the "UBI Aeronautics Team" (UBIAT), made of Aeronautical Engineering Students From the University of Beira Interior and partner of the Student Association AEROUBI & AS COVILHÃ. The team will participate in the "AIR Cargo Challenge", that will take place in Aachen, 2024. We are divide in 6 sub-systems, each one in charge of a respective aplication area for a project. Each sub-system have a coordinator responsible for managing is sub-system and reporting all the Information to the team leader. We also need a Pilot for testing ours UAVS and using them in the competiton.

Sub-Teams

Aerodynamic Design

The Aerodynamic design sub-Team is responsible for the overall aircraft configuration. For that it is need airfoil, stability and control analysis.

Structure Design

catia-aircraft-design-software-interface

The Structure Design sub-Team is responsible for designing all the structural components of the aircraft as the fuselage and others. For that we use software's like Catia and Ansys.

Propulsion Systems

The propulsion systems sub-team is responsible for acquiring data from the propulsion systems and getting the best performance. For such objective we use wind tunnel tests and more.

Electronic Systems

The Electronic Systems sub-team is in charge of all the electronics used in the aircraft such as acquisition systems and servo motors or batteries.

Manufacturing

The Manufacturing sub-team is responsible for the practical process including carbon fiber, glass fiber laminating, hot wire foam cutting and all practical process needed
