Society of Sonic Flight Engineers
About This Organization
- Abbreviation(s):
- SSFE
- Purpose:
- As aggie engineers, our goal is to push innovation to new heights, and with that goal, we strive to learn through both the trials of failure and success. In creating SSFE we hope to create an organization with the intent to beat air speed records. We will accomplish this by determining an organization speed record with a semester-long development of an RC aircraft that will continue to be surpassed in succeeding semesters. In doing this we intend to gain the experience of leadership and the knowledge of what it means to develop an aircraft in a team environment. This simple goal gives engineers nearly unlimited design freedom (think of the analogy of F1 without regulation). With this, we hope to pose propulsion-specific speed challenges whether if it is a speed record with a single propeller, multi-propeller, turbojet, or rocket engine. This challenge requires the engineers at SSFE to push the limits of their engines and designs.
