Honeywell Develops Flying Competition

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.
