About Us

Advanced Modeling Aeronautics Team (AMAT) is an organization that teaches undergraduate students the necessary hands-on experience to design, build, and fly scale model remote-controlled (RC) airplanes. AMAT competes in the annual SAE Aero Design / AIAA DBF competition. We build and fly large, remote-controlled aircraft made primarily from composite materials such as carbon fiber, honeycomb aluminum, and foam. AMAT utilizes education and teamwork to gain experience in design and manufacturing techniques, while integrating past successes with innovation to create a smarter and more advanced aircraft.
