SAE Aero Design is a series of competitive aerospace and mechanical engineering events held in the US since 1986. The purpose of the SAE Aero Design competition is to design and build an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of lifting the heaviest possible payload. The Polish team from the Warsaw University of Technology has been participating in these competitions for 31 years as one of the favorites. The team of 20 students worked for six months to develop six models: four in a micro category and two in a regular one.
