UAV Competitions

Cal State LA is delighted to organize student-designed model aircraft competitions. These include an annual CSU 3D-Printed Fixed-Wing Aircraft Competition, held on the Cal State LA campus, and a California Unmanned Aerial Systems Competition, hosted by our partner, the Mojave Air & Space Port, at their world-famous Rutan Field.

Join the Competition

We welcome college and university teams, whether as part of senior design programs or student clubs, to join us at one or both Southern California competitions.
