Goal Is To Educate Next Generation of Indian Aerospace
Engineers
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.
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 challenges students to design and
build their own wood and paper aircraft, and fly it in a designated
circuit. Aircraft design must be based on students' learning and
understanding of aerodynamics and principles of flight. The
students are provided with kits specially designed by Honeywell
Aerospace, and asked to challenge each other on their respective
theoretical and practical knowledge by flying aircraft to test the
air worthiness, speed and handling capabilities.
Currently, the Aero Club has approximately 40 students enrolled
at AFBBS. To complement their learning, field service engineers
from Honeywell have spent quality time in engaging, teaching and
encouraging students at the club.
Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Honeywell's aerospace business is a
global provider of integrated avionics, engines, systems and
service solutions for aircraft manufacturers, airlines, business
and general aviation, military, space and airport operations.
