Aeromodelling(Registration Closed.)
This workshop is dedicated to learn the technology behind making of aircrafts. It help and encourage the participants to solve real time problem involved in making of glider aircraft so that student will stimulate their theoretical knowledge in to practical. The RC technology and Aeromodelling skills that are the basics of entering into the real world of flying an actual airplane would be covered in this workshop.
Who are eligible for participating in this workshop?
This workshop is open for all the students of B.Tech. Aeromodelling is a combination of all the branches including Electronics, Mechanical, Computer Science, Instrumentation and Aerodynamics Engineering, so engineering students of all the branches mentioned have a very good chance to explore this very intrusting field and this workshop would provide such an exposure to you about engineering practical aspects in flying that you have never seen before.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
In this workshop, you would be building a complete aero-model glider plane with your own hands with the help of simple tools like cutters, glue, special adhesives, and sandpapers out of Styrofoam sheets, Know the basic fundamentals about Center of Gravity (C.G) and Center of Pressure (C.P) of a flying object or basic aerodynamics that are to be added to any object to make it fly..
The cost for the workshop includes
• Robologix Aeromodelling kit
• Training fee
• Pre & Post workshop Handouts and training material
• Participation certificate
