Boeing Experimental Flight (BEF)

PROJECT MISSION

The primary objective of Boeing Experimental Flight (BEF) is to increase the efficiency of aircraft design and the challenges with experimental design. BEF will conduct research on experimental designs and compare them to industry standards to compare efficiency of design. This research and design will help teach future engineers important skills for industry work.

Project Deliverables

  1. Deliverable 1: Manufacture a Truss Braced Wing to improve flight time for an RC 737 max.
  2. Deliverable 2: Complete a thorough analysis of the Truss Braced Wing.
  3. Deliverable 3: Continue research of fuel-efficient aircraft configurations.

Project Goal

The Boeing Experimental Team is currently working on improving the flight efficiency of an aircraft through the use of experimental wing systems.

Next Steps

  1. The team is working on improving the flight time for an RC 737 max.
