Vertical Flight Society Student Chapter

The Vertical Flight Society International UT Arlington Chapter belongs to the premier professional organization for Vertical Lift Technology. This includes military and civilian helicopters, tilt-rotors, tilt-wings, VTOL aircraft, and UAV's. The chapter at UT Arlington is the oldest in the nation, initiated in 1967. It was re-initiated in 2016 by Amber Zuehl, and since then has toured Bell Helicopter, had professional speakers, volunteered at STEM outreach events, and had members attend forums. Members have gained knowledge in this field of engineering, and have had several opportunities to highlight their college career with volunteering and networking outside of pure academics. There are no dues required; members of VFS are automatically members of the UTA Chapter once they contact the recruitment officer.
