STEM
Michigan Vertical Flight Technology is a student-run project team founded in 2018 with a focus on the design and build of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft prototypes. These aircraft take off like a helicopter and fly like a plane, and they can be used for missions such as search and rescue, surveillance, humanitarian aid, package delivery, and the emerging industry of Urban Air Mobility (UAM). Our focus is getting students hands-on experience with sustainable eVTOL aircraft.We have competed in the Vertical Flight Society's design-build-fly competitions for the past two years and placed first in the inaugural one in the 2020-2021 academic year. Prior to competing, the team spent its founding years on independent projects and working to start this intercollegiate design-build-fly team for eVTOL aircraft. All majors are welcome at MVFT, and it is a great multidisciplinary design challenge! Some of our current members’ majors include aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, computer science and mechanical engineering, but other non-STEM majors such as business, economics, and communications are welcome and much needed!
