The MAAA are thrilled to have raised
awareness and generated interest
amongst the younger generation in the
sport of aeromodelling, creating career
pathways for budding pilots at Calamvale
Community College.
The Year 10 UAV Robotics students
recently completed the Delta Dart
project- funded by the MAAA to engage
students and introduce them to the
principles of flight, aircraft engineering
and aircraft manufacturing. The project
also gave an understanding of aerospace
as a career aspiration.
The project saw students build a rubber
band powered aircraft, broadening
their knowledge of the basic parts of
an aircraft and how it flies without
assistance of a radio control system.
