In addition to the two main flying competitions (indoor flight and water rocket), we will also organize two additional competitions to promote the learning of aerospace science and activities at schools. These competitions are: Presentations by schools’ contingents (on the Competition Day) Videos made by students (about aerospace activities at their schools) SCHOOL PRESENTATIONSOn the […]
The results from this year’s indoor flight competition showed much improvement from last year’s competition. The record of the flight time in this event was 1 minute 14 seconds, a drastic improvement from the previous year’s record of less than 20 seconds. Much of the improvement was due to our approach in preparing the learning […]

Students can refer to the videos below to start learning about water rockets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCwxsYWuDaU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii6D1R6lXVA This water rocket challenge aims to provide a platform for school students to design, build and test a water rocket model based on scientific principles such as rocket propulsion theory, aerodynamics, and Newton’s third law with the goal of educating […]
This competition highlights the state of the art skill in designing the airframe of flying models. The aim is to build awareness on how complex the structural of the magnificent flying machine that fly us from one place to another, as well as to increase the curiosity and interest on why it is build in […]
IntroductionIndoor Flight is a category of light-weight indoor planes powered by rubber bands and flown without any remote controls. The aim of building one of these planes is to maximize its flight time, with flight times ranging from 1 to 5 minutes for beginners, and achieving more than 40 minutes in international competitions. These planes […]
