WHO WE ARE
The RPI Flying Club (RFC) is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's premier organization for aviation enthusiasts, aspiring pilots, and aerospace engineers. Founded to bridge the gap between classroom theory and the sky, we provide students with the resources, community, and training needed to take flight.
Whether you have 1,000 flight hours or have never stepped foot on a tarmac, the RFC is a home for anyone who looks up when a plane flies over.
