David Trevas, PhD

  • Provided customer requirements.
  • Crucial inputter in design requirements.

Sponsors

  • Novakinetics AeroSystems
  • Prometheus Solar
  • Flagstaff Flyers

Why is this important?

  • Teaches students to use engineering principles in a real life

application.

  • Allows the use of renewable energy to power an RC plane.
