Schools Aerospace Challenge

The judging this year revealed two teams worthy of winning the competition. After a thorough review it has been decided that it would not be fair to select one team in preference to the other, and therefore for the first time since the Schools Aerospace Challenge started, two teams have been selected as joint winners.
