About
Design Build Fly at UCLA is a student team that designs, builds and flies a new radio-controlled aircraft each year for the AIAA Design/Build/Fly contest. Its 2026 plane, Goose, finished third of 98 teams from 12 countries, the club's first podium finish, after the team chose to fly three passengers and focus on the ground mission and banner-towing flight. Its previous top result was 10th place out of more than 100 teams with Bell-Air, its 2024-25 aircraft. Sponsors include Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Blue Origin and Ansys.
