Move over, drones – these student-engineered aircraft are stealing the spotlight! The 2024 China University Aircraft Design Competition has turned skies above Dingzhou City into a live tech runway, with over 2,000 aviation enthusiasts from 100+ universities testing their homemade flying machines.
From Blueprint to Blue Skies
Teams spent months designing planes from scratch, proving you don’t need a NASA budget to reach new heights. The catch? Their creations must ace scaled flight tests measuring everything from speed to stability – think ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ meets aerospace engineering finals.
Brainpower Takes Flight
Organized by the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics, this event runs through October 4. While winners get bragging rights, the real prize? Spotlighting tomorrow’s aviation innovators – maybe even the minds behind future supersonic travel!
