Congratulations to ‘Team Wright Flyer’ from 1408 (Dorking) Squadron, Air Training Corps who won this year’s Schools Aerospace Challenge awards. The announcement was made recently at a high-profile ceremony in central London.
The challenge is a competition for 16 to 18-year-olds, challenged to submit design solutions to a fictitious, but realistic, RAF Operational Requirement. Each year, teams from schools, Air Training Corps or other youth organisations, answer a realistic aerospace design challenge set together with the RAF. Shortlisted teams get to experience lots of what the aerospace world has to offer in a 5-day Summer School at Cranfield University. Photo and text copyright permission via Craig Penrice.
