DESIGN  PROCESS

Our Methodology

The DDC Regular 2025 mission focused on optimizing the Lift-to-Drag ratio for heavy payload operations. Our team implemented high-precision laser-cut components and custom carbon-fiber spans to ensure structural integrity at max takeoff weight.

Iterative flight testing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were key to achieving the stable flight performance exhibited during the competition.
