East, he said the box mounting setup for
" perfectly constrained boxes " was one of the
team's best design decisions. " It exceeded
our expectations and reduced the fluttering
of boxes and other aerodynamic advantages
to enhance performance. "
As for the Regular Class, the wing
mounting " was a very difficult design
decision that the team had to make. We went
from a rectangular-shaped structure to a
circular one and thus the constraining of the
wing and balancing of forces had to be done,
ensuring structural integrity. "

For Sharon Macumber, leading the University
of Cincinnati's SAE Aero Design West third
place in the Regular Class was a great
learning experience.
" We had a rather large team (22 people)
and leading all of them in an effective and
efficient manner was challenging at times, "
she said. " We had some very strong opinions
in our group, and I had to learn to leverage
those with others' opinions that may not
have been as vocal. I learned a lot about
leadership and the stages of forming and
performing with a team. By the time we
went to competition, we had all grown very
close and shared a lot of respect for one
another. That was my main goal, and to
make sure that everyone felt like they had
contributed to the team's success. "
Asked what non-technical factor
contributed most to the team's great success,
Macumber said: " I would say our overall
resilience contributed to our success. We
learned that a lot of design ideas we initially
had were not viable and that the ways we
had started performing analysis were not
beneficial long-term. We had to quickly pivot
when it came to various design changes and
how we worked together as a team. This was
even evident during competition when both
our main aircraft and our spare were
damaged the first day of flying. After
salvaging what we had left and creating a
" Franken-plane " Saturday evening, we had
our highest scores on Sunday. "
The next question for Macumber:
What part or system of the plane performed
up to or exceeding expectations and
significantly affected its flight performance.
" While there are many design features we
would improve knowing what we know
today, " she said, " our motor and propeller
