TEAM

Internal Organization:

Fly-Mi EUROAVIA Milano’s counts up to 70 members, divided into five departments
The departments are:

  • Electronics, propulsion and control;
  • Structures;
  • Flight mechanics;
  • Aerodynamics;
  • Business, managment and communication.

The President, along with the Vice President, Treasurer, CTO, Project Manager, and Department Heads sit on the Association’s Board.

Students from all faculties of the Politecnico di Milano are part of Fly-Mi!

I dipartimenti:

The Aerodynamics department focuses on the analysis and optimization of the airflow around the drone.
An initial analysis of the drone’s preliminary configuration is performed using software based on panel methods; the resulting configuration is then optimized and validated through CFD simulations.

The department is divided into two sections, “Sponsors” and “Communication.”

The “Sponsor” sectionhas to managed relation with companies supporting the project.
The section is in charge of procurement and purchaising to ensure the team with everything it needs The “Communication” section is in charge of the social networks and the website, taking care of the overall image of the association.
Both groups are in charge of organizing events.

The department is responsible for the electrical and electronic part of the aircraft, which includes propulsion system, batteries, and moving surface actuation systems. It also manages of on-board telemetry and radio control, the software management, and the study of autonomous flight through control laws implemented on a microcontroller.

The Flight Mechanics department primarily focuses on the initial and conceptual design of the aircraft, and subsequently works on flight dynamics.
The engineering challenges addressed in the department’s work include aircraft design and the application of numerical optimization, the department is therefore responsible for designing the best possible drone, actively verifying requirements such as stability and maneuverability.

The department is responsible for designing the aircraft structure, selecting the necessary materials, and ensuring that it can withstand the loads encountered during flight missions. Solidworks (CAD) and Abaqus (FEM) are used for the design process.
The department uses innovative technologies and materials specific to aerospace, such as composites and 3D printing. It collaborates and interfaces with other departments to optimize mass distribution, determine the geometry of bodies and to fix the position of servo actuators and wiring harnesses.

The Structures Department is closely involved in production and assembly.

JOIN THE TEAM.

Recruitments open in September and March. However, it’s always possible to subtmite an application. To do so it’s neccesary to write an email attaching a cover letter an CV. It’s necessary to underline which department a candidate is applying for.
