Schools Aerospace Challenge 2012

This is a unique opportunity for you to win a place on a free five night residential course at the School of Engineering, Cranfield University starting on 22 July 2012.

• Learn about aircraft and jet engines
• Take the controls of a light aircraft and helicopter
• Get airborne in the Jetstream flying classroom plus much more

As explained under RAF Requirement, the Royal Air Force is looking at ways to train pilots for future RPAS. Can your School or ATC unit come up with ideas that justify a team of three attending Cranfield? 
 
What to do NOW
First register your intention to have a go – see Registration section for how to do this. Do not delay doing this as there is no commitment involved and you have nothing to lose and potentially much to gain by registering earlier than other teams. Once your registration has been accepted, any entry you submit by the due date will go forward for judging. The best teams will be invited to attend Cranfield.

How the challenge works
Based on its original entry and subsequent performance in team exercises at Cranfield one team will be selected as the overall winner with two other teams as runners up.

The three teams will share a £5000 prize fund at an award ceremony and reception to be held in London at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in November 2012. The winning team will also receive the Schools Aerospace Challenge Trophy presented on an annual basis by Cranfield University.

The Rules section will explain what is involved in compiling and submitting your entry.
