This is an official page of SAE AeroConnect Challenge™, a program of SAE International.

Through the SAE AeroConnect Challenge™ universities will think critically about emerging technology issues relevant to the connected aircraft industry. Teams of university students will identify a real-world connected aircraft problem and develop a UAV system to solve their identified problem. Immersed in the SAE International’s AeroTech conference, universities will present their solution in various ways including a technical presentation and on the SAE International’s AeroTech show floor.
