Virginia Tech Aircraft Design Reports
These are the final reports and some final presentations from Virginia Tech
Aircraft Design Students. Current students should be aware that not all of these
reports were graded A (or even B).
Two excellent examples that pre-date electronic versions of reports have been scanned in as models:
