Vertical Flight Society Announces 4th Student Competition

Design-Build-Vertical Flight Drone Meet to Host 16 Teams

The Vertical Flight Society announced the lineup of college competitors for the upcoming eVTOL competition, with 16 universities sending their best to vie for the  selection of teams from 16 universities to compete in the fourth annual Design-Build-Vertical Flight (DBVF) Student Competition.

Teams included will hail from the US, with Canada, India and Malaysia. The field will be the widest it's ever been, with teams vying for a $5,000 award to the highest scoring bunch.

"The electric-powered vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) DBVF competition seeks to encourage interest in uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) technology, and small air vehicle design and fabrication. The competition is designed to develop hands-on skills and familiarization with eVTOL and advanced air mobility (AAM) technology at the university student level, helping to prepare the next generation of engineers and leaders to push the limits of this exciting technology into the future.
