Aeromodelling Competition:
Boeing - IIT National Aeromodelling Competition for college students in India is sponsored by Boeing, and conducted in collaboration with IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras. Logistics support for this event is provided by AerotriX.

The competition is launched with the vision to provide a unified national platform for students interested in aerospace and related engineering disciplines - to demonstrate their aero-modeling expertise.

This would be a two-staged pan India Competition:
Zonal Level: The Zonals would be held in conjunction with the Technical Festivals of IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras. The First three teams from each of the Zonal competitions, a total of 12 teams from the Zonal competitions, will participate in the National level.

National Level: The National Level Competition will be held at IIT Delhi for all the toppers from the Zonal Round to decide the champion.

Scope:
Evaluation will be carried out in two rounds for the Zonals; a qualifier round and a maneuver round. The evaluation criteria and the constraints are listed in the Problem statement. Teams qualifying to the Maneuver round in the Zonals will be reimbursed a limited amount for the costs incurred towards the expenses for procuring materials for their models.

Aeromodelling Workshops:
Along with the competition, Boeing will also be sponsoring aero-modeling workshops to be conducted by the respective IITs. This will act as an additional platform where students who are interested in designing and building RC gliders, can get hands on experience in designing and building them. The dates for the workshops will be announced separately.

Problem Statement:
Rules on Team structure:
** Maximum of 4 members in a team.
** Members of a team may be from same college or different (UG or PG).
** Any number of teams can participate from one college.
** Professionals are not allowed (Only students can participate).

Design Constraints:
** T/W =0.75 (if excess thrust is found, it will be neutralized by adding weight below the plane at center of gravity).
** Propeller diameter should not be greater than 10 inches.
** Battery weight should not be more than 120 gm.
** Only electrical motors are allowed. The use of IC engines or any other means of providing thrust is prohibited.
** Use of gyroscopes (gyros) and programming assistance in receivers is prohibited.
** One of the team members should fly the aircraft and another should call the stunts as they are performed (just before).

Abstract Submission:
** All the participants need to submit an abstract on their aircraft, which should be no longer than 15 pages (A4 size 1.5 line spacing) with standard formatting.
** The Abstract must document the basic design of the aircraft (dimensions, wing areas, velocity, etc.) and should also explain how their design is suitable for given problem.
** Along with the abstract, Participants also have to send a zip file containing at-least 5 and no more than 10 photographs of the aircraft while it is being built.
** The Abstract has to be submitted as per the standard format(you can download the standard format from the respective IIT websites).
** The Abstract has to be submitted to the respective Zonal competition 20 days in advance of the Zonal event date. E.g. For a Zonal happening on the 4th of January, the Abstract deadline is the 15th of December and so on.
