2022 Promoting Electric Propulsion

Time: 1.9 miles in 40:00

This team drove from graduation to Pohick Bay, showing their dedication and responsibility. They built from a good foundation from the 2021 competitors with a brand new motor design and reconfigured hull design. This speedy craft had a well-tested hull and a strong propulsion system. Aiden McEnroe expertly navigated the craft using the remote control system through the course. Unmanned 2nd Place: Stevens Institute of TechnologyThe craft used a water-propulsion system with two motors to evenly propel the craft through the Virginia waters. This craft had already withstood vigorous testing in the Hudson to ensure race day was a success.

Dr. Datla, retired astronaut Bill Shepherd, and the entire Stevens Institute staff provide expert guidance and resources to ensure the PEP senior design teams continue to experience success. It's a joy to work with these teams, and see the expert engineers that Stevens continues to add to our industry.
