SAE Aero Design Plane Unveiled
Team HAWK; a group of engineering students from Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management taking part in the SAE Aero Design - East Competition in Fort worth, Texas, USA, had their plane unveiled by Capt. Ganesh Karnik, Hon'ble opposition party chief whip, Karnataka Legislative Council, Sri Nalin Kumar Kateel, M.P., Dakshina Kannada and R S Hiremath, CEO, Flexitron.
Chief Guest Capt. Ganesh Karnik appreciated the team leader for taking the initiative to take part in a world-class competition. He gave insights into the Indian aeronautical industries. Mr. R S Hiremath said that student activities such as this will improve the ranking of the institute. Prof. M B Puranik said that an institute is known by its students and their activities and he also praised Sahyadri for providing such opportunities for its students.
The SAE Aero Design - East competition will be held in Fort worth, Texas, USA from 11-13 March 2016 and is conducted by NASA and Lockheed Martin. SCEM is one among the two colleges participating in this event from Karnataka. Team Hawk is one among the two teams from Karnataka, with 75 teams from around the world participating in the SAE International Aero Design – East. Team HAWK members Mohammad Anwar, Tharanath, Gouse Khan M S, Midhun Jyothis, Gerald K Antony, Rajgokul Ganiga P S, Nitin S Prakash, Probid J and Amrutha Khandare will present their aero design model at the competition.
Team Hawk, emerged from team Challengers, part of the Robotic Club of the College. The team having gained experience in various national level competitions in the fields of electronics and mechanical engineering is all set to take up this international challenge. Hawks are dedicated undergraduate students from various disciplines of engineering, passionate towards aerospace engineering and aeronautics. It is their endeavor to chase the new dimensions of engineering in the contemporary competitive world, craving the kinetics of aeronautics.
SAE International, initially established as the Society of Automotive Engineers, is a U.S.-based, globally active professional association and standards organization for engineering professionals in various industries. The SAE Aero Design competition is intended to provide undergraduate and graduate engineering students with a real-life engineering challenge. The competition has been designed to provide exposure to the kinds of situations that engineers face in their real-life work environment. First and foremost a design competition, students will find themselves performing trade studies and making compromises to arrive at a design solution that will optimally meet the mission requirements while still conforming to the configuration limitations.
SAE Aero Design features three classes of competition-Regular, Advanced, and Micro. Regular Class continues to be the class with the purpose to develop the fundamental understanding of flight. We recommended Regular Class for first year teams interested in competing. Advanced Class requires teams to have a systems approach to the design while integrating several engineering disciplines: aeronautical, mechanical, electrical, and computer engineers. The ultimate end goal for this class is autonomous flight with a "purpose" decided every year by rules committee members. Micro Class teams are required to make trades between two potentially conflicting requirements, carrying the highest payload fraction possible, while simultaneously pursuing the lowest empty weight possible
