About
A student-led aviation community.
We give students opportunities to learn, build, connect, and experience aviation firsthand.
Mission
Increase student access to aviation.
Aviation Club exists to connect UW–Madison students with aviation beyond the classroom through hands-on engineering and manufacturing projects, flight experiences, professional development, industry connections, and community.
Aviation is a career field and a hands-on discipline, not just a hobby.
Who we are
Pilots, engineers, and the plain curious.
We're broader than a traditional flying club. Members come from every major and experience level.
Membership
You don't have to be a pilot.
Membership isn't limited to pilots, engineers, a particular college, or people with aviation experience. If you're interested in aviation, you belong here.
