McGill Aerial Design is a student engineering design team at McGill University focused on designing, building, and testing autonomous VTOL drones.
Each year, we participate in the AEAC Student UAS Competition, developing custom aircraft that integrate aerodynamics, mechanical design, power systems, avionics, embedded electronics, and flight software.
Our team gives students hands-on experience with real aerospace engineering challenges, from early design and prototyping to flight testing and competition deployment.
- Design and manufacture autonomous UAVs
- Develop flight software, avionics, and embedded systems
- Test, tune, and validate aircraft for real flight conditions
- Compete annually in AEAC
- Build practical aerospace experience at McGill
