In an unprecedented achievement for Portuguese aeronautical engineering, the Universidade da Beira Interior Aeronautics Team (UBIAT) has successfully qualified to participate in the prestigious AIAA Design/Build/Fly (DBF) competition. This internationally recognised event, held annually in Tucson, Arizona, brings together top aeronautical engineering teams from around the world, including elite institutions such as Ivy League universities. The competition challenges students to design, build, and test their own remote-controlled aircraft, pushing the boundaries of engineering innovation and teamwork.

Aerogels: The Ultra-Light Supermaterial Transforming Space Travel and Earth
Did You Know? Designing spacecraft is all about pushing the limits—keeping things as light as possible while ensuring they can survive the harshest conditions. Every extra kilogram means higher costs, so engineers are always on the lookout for materials that are both strong and ultra-lightweight. That’s where aerogels come in. Often called “frozen smoke” because…
