TEAM ASSALING FALCONS

Here at Assailing Falcons, SAE Aero design team, we work with a pioneering spirit that puts innovation at the heart of everything we do. We are a bunch of like-minded individuals with a common aim and are ready to sacrifice everything on the line whilst striving for excellence.

Being the most experienced and the most successful SAE Aero-Design team of VIT, we design and manufacture Advanced class aircrafts and take part in the SAE Aero Design competition held every year in the United States. While focusing on delivering results on the international stage, we also try to get creative in the process to incorporate a unique design every year.

Our 2019 aircraft of the season 'REDBIRD' got us our best ever rank of 4th Overall, while bagging 1st place in both Design Report and Technical Presentation globally, which is a feat achieved by no other team from the Asia-Pacific region, therefore earning praise from the likes of engineers at Boeing, Lockheed Martin and NASA.

“You have never seen an aircraft until you have seen its shadow from the sky”. We at Flying Inc. are a group of aero enthusiasts united by the passion of designing aircrafts and together we fulfill the passion of Howard Hughes, the will of Wright brothers and a desire to prove the same.

A mélange of design, technology and ingenuity where both creativity and innovation come together, we instill high standards of technicality and willpower into our designs through our dedicated team members.

Being the oldest Aero-design team in VIT formed in 2011, Team Flying INC has designed and fabricated aircrafts of different sizes and continued its tradition of Flying High and raising the bar of excellence in the field of aviation.

Primarily taking part in the SAE Collegiate Series organized by Lockheed Martin, Flying INC. is renowned for its creative designs and innovative techniques incorporated into every one of its prototypes and reflected into our achievements.

We dream, we dare and we fly….for if it wasn’t for dreams, man would be still walking on the ground.

We are VIT's SAE Aero Design team comprising of a bunch of RC enthusiasts who design and fabricate micro class aerial vehicles by implementing engineering concepts. 

The team members put in combined effort all around the year in an attempt to outdo ourselves every season. In the course of designing and fabricating the aircraft, we receive an education like no other, gaining first hand experience and knowledge as well as sharpening our marketing, budgeting, communication, time, production and resource management skills. Our unwavering commitment and work ethic urges us to continuously improve on our model year after year.

We have been participating in SAE Aero Design since 2011 and are consistently placed in top 10 with a podium finish to our name. As we aspire to grow and win as a team, the sky is only the beginning.

We are an Aero-modelling team, under the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in VIT. The primary objective of our Team is to design and fabricate Fixed-wing RC planes, which we take to competitions across the Nation. A Striking feature, that separates us from other Aero-teams is that We at Curtiss R/C will teach our members how to Pilot R/C planes and drones. We have produced one of finest R/C pilots that the University has seen
