Student-led aerospace engineering • propulsion • design reviews
Aerospace Club at Carmel High School is a project-based engineering team focused on giving students the chance to take on ambitious, technically demanding aerospace work. Through hands-on design, testing, research, and community outreach, we aim to create a space where students can build real systems, grow as engineers, and pursue challenges well beyond the classroom.
Aerospace Club is a student-led, project-based program at Carmel High School built around the idea that students learn best by tackling real engineering challenges. Our club brings together students who want more than simple demonstrations or classroom labs. We focus on creative, rigorous aerospace projects that require design thinking, technical documentation, iteration, teamwork, and disciplined problem solving.
In addition to hands-on engineering, our team values outreach and community engagement. We want to help make aerospace and engineering more accessible to other students while building a culture of curiosity, ambition, and technical excellence. Our goal is not just to complete impressive projects, but to create meaningful opportunities for students to grow as builders, leaders, and future engineers.
RegenCat is our liquid propulsion project centered on a regeneratively cooled rocket engine. The program involves propulsion system design, thermal considerations, manufacturing strategy, technical review work, and a structured engineering process modeled after real aerospace development.
This project pushes students into serious systems engineering by requiring careful analysis, design tradeoffs, documentation, safety planning, and clear technical communication. It is the type of challenge that turns interest in aerospace into real engineering experience.
Sponsorship helps us move from concepts and reviews into real progress by supporting critical needs like materials, machining, instrumentation, testing equipment, hardware, and safe development infrastructure for a high-level student engineering program.
Our Preliminary Design Review outlines the current state of the RegenCat project, including design direction, engineering considerations, and development goals.
