High Speed Plane members working together

About Us

A team of students passionate about engineering, aviation, and pushing the limits of high-speed RC aircraft.

WHO WE ARE

Built by Students. Driven by Innovation.

High Speed Plane is a Purdue University student organization dedicated to designing, building, and testing high-performance RC aircraft.

Our team brings together students from a wide range of academic backgrounds who share an interest in aviation, engineering, and hands-on problem solving.

From the first concept and aerodynamic analysis to manufacturing, electronics, and flight testing, our members gain experience throughout the entire aircraft development process.

WHAT WE DO

From Concept to Flight

Every aircraft is the result of collaboration between students working across multiple engineering disciplines.

01

Design

Develop aircraft concepts using engineering, aerodynamics, and performance analysis.

02

Build

Transform designs into physical aircraft through hands-on manufacturing and assembly.

03

Test

Evaluate aircraft performance through ground testing, iteration, and flight operations.

04

Fly

Take our aircraft to the sky, put every design decision to the test, and carry what we learn into the next build.

TEAM LEADERSHIP

Cabinet

The cabinet helps guide the organization and keeps High Speed Plane moving forward.

PROJECT LEADERSHIP

Subteam Leaders

Each subteam focuses on a critical part of the aircraft while working closely with the rest of the organization.
