requirements in civil aircraft design and which will be transferred to model aircraft design.
Develop an airworthy and efficient model plane of any configuration that fulfills some essential real-world civil aircraft requirements and demonstrate its airworthiness and efficiency by a
test flight.
The following deliverables have to be submitted during the competition:
- Preliminary design report (PDR)
- Critical design report (CDR)
- Design report
- Flight demonstration with specific tasks to demonstrate the airworthiness and efficiency of your aircraft.
The test flight results are to be checked against your predictions in the design report
- De-Briefing
- Science slam
