Cyclone Business Jet (CBJ) is an undergraduate student organization at Iowa State University, undertaking the task of designing and constructing a prototype 10-passenger commuter or business class jet airplane. It is composed mostly of Aerospace Engineer majors, however there are also Mechanical and Civil Engineers as well as Design majors. Emphasis is taken in designing for lower cost and greater fuel range. Teams are broken off into three sub-groups: the Aerodynamics Team, Performance Team, and Structures Team. The goal of Cyclone Business Jet is to apply classroom acquired skills to a real life problem with a finished product in mind.
