SAE Aeroconnect 2021 Challenge Results

We are proud to announce that our Aeroconnect Team, representing the University of Calgary on an international level, has placed 1st overall for the second consecutive year for the emerging technology series at SAE Aeroconnect 2021! Congratulations to all our hardworking team members who worked tirelessly to lead our team to this astonishing achievement. The University of Calgary placed 1st for the technical design report, 1st for the presentation, and 3rd for our showcase resulting in 1st place overall.

We would like to thank SAE International for hosting this competition that unifies students towards a common engineering goal. The competition provides us with the knowledge and experience to tackle emerging technological challenges in autonomous aviation and it is truly a unique experience that we are grateful for. We would also like to congratulate our fellow competing teams for their continued effort in a difficult design competition. And, saving the best for last, we would like to thank our sponsors for providing us with the opportunity to compete in the first place. We look forward to representing the University of Calgary in our future competitions next year with the same effort and stride as this one.
