Eagle Aero Sport - Student Built Aircraft

Eagle Aero Sport is an undergraduate engineering team comprised of students from multiple majors across the Prescott, AZ campus. The team is building an experimental Van’s RV-12 aircraft and is modifying the plane to add real time flight test instrumentation for research. These instruments will gather data for aerodynamic, structural, as well as aircraft performance experiments. To do this, the team is divided into four sub-teams: build, business, engineering, and safety. Each of these teams is critical to the success of the project. Build focuses on the installation of parts on the aircraft and skinning of the body and wings. Engineering creates and installs gauges, creates instrumentation mounts, creates wiring diagrams and integrates instrumentation. Business organizes fundraisers and writes a monthly newsletter. Safety holds the team to OSHA standards in the hangar. All the research and knowledge gathered by Eagle Aero Sport represents a rare asset which, we hope, will become more common-place as it is incorporated into Embry-Riddle’s curricula, enhancing the student and faculty experience.
