Honeywell Develops Flying Competition to Educate Next Generation of Indian Aerospace Engineers

New Delhi: Honeywell has conducted India's first Aero Club flying competition at the Air Force Bal Bharti School (AFBBS) in Delhi, to train the next generation of Indian aviation enthusiasts and engineers on the science of model aircraft design and air worthiness capabilities.
Launched in July 2011, the Aero Club at AFBBS is an extension of Honeywell Hometown Solutions' Science and Math education focus, a series of programs created to inspire the next generation of innovators by improving science, technology, engineering and math education around the world.
The Aero Club competition affords students the real-world opportunity to do what few other young students ever get to do.
It challenges students to design and build their own wood and paper aircraft, and flying it in a designated circuit.
Aircraft design must be based on students' learning and understanding of aerodynamics and principles of flight.
Students are provided with kits specially designed by Honeywell Aerospace.
Students are asked to challenge each other on their respective theoretical and practical knowledge by flying aircrafts to test the air worthiness, speed and handling capabilities.
