Welcome to Aggie Micro Aeronautics Team, UC Davis

The Aggie Micro Aeronautics Team, also known as AMAT, is a young club at UC Davis that allows students to explore the components and dynamics of airplanes by building RC airplanes from scratch every year. These completed RC airplanes compete in an annual SAE sponsored competition in which over 40 schools from all over the country enter in. In 2006, AMAT was able to secure 4th out of 37 in the regular class, and 1st place overall for the design report out of 50 in the SAE Aerodesign West Competition.

The competition sets up deadlines for reports and also calls for certain restrictions on the airplane for the students to fulfill.

Members involved would gain knowledge on working on the plane as a team and valuable practical hands-on experience. Even those who are not from an engineering field of study are welcome to join.

Here are some videos that demonstrate the atmosphere of the competition:
