competition and registration amount will not be reimbursed.

Rules on Team structure:

1. Maximum of 4 members in a team.
2. Members of a team may be from same college/school or different (K-12/UG/PG).
3. Any number of teams can participate from one college/school or different

Abstract Submission

1. All the participants need to submit an abstract on their aircraft, which should contain minimum of 5
pages (excluding cover page) and maximum of 10 pages.
2. The Abstract must document the basic design of the aircraft (dimensions, wing areas, velocity, etc.)
and should also explain how their design is suitable for given problem.
3. Along with the abstract, Participants also have to send a zip file (less than 5MB) containing 4
photographs (Top view, Front view, Side view, Isometric view) of the aircraft.
4. The Abstract has to be submitted as per the standard format (Details are given below).
5. The Abstract submission period is between 14-09-2019 to 18-09-2019.

Deadline: September 18 2019

(Reports must strictly adhere to the above requirements, failing which the reports will not be considered
for bonus)

Design Constraints

1. The plane should be accumulated inside a Cuboidal Box, shown in Fig. (a)

Fig. a
l→ Length, h →Height and w→ width (w.r.t opening)

2. Battery used should be less than or equal to 1500 mAh.

3. The use of IC engines or any other means of providing thrust is prohibited.

4. Use of gyroscopes (gyros) and programming assistance in receivers is prohibited.

5. Usage of Rotary wing is prohibited.

6. Usage of Landing Gear is optional.

All the above constraints will be cross checked during inspection.

• Inspection:
1. Tech data (electronic components & materials) sheet should be provided for the inspection.
2. Inspection has to be finished before the qualifying round.

Tech data sheet should consist of the following information:

Day 1: Objective – Stability and Maneuverability

• Qualifying round:
The plane should be assembled from the container and it must be in a flying condition and then
directly taken to the flying field.

 1st Round (p):

1. The plane should take off and take one round of the ground (to qualify).

2. If the plane crashes 2nd attempt would be allowed (penalty time would be added) and must start from
the assembling of the plane again.

3. Take off, fly up in altitude until air boss signals, then cut of the throttle, glide the plane and land in
the provided area.

→20 Points
 2nd Round (Maneuvers):

Maneuvers can be performed in any plane i.e (X,Y,Z)

List of Maneuvers:

1st Category (q)

q.a) Cuban Eight 10 Points

q.b) Humpty Bump 10 Points

(Any 1 out of 2, max Point awarded will be 10)

2nd Category (r)

r .a) Outside loop 5 Points

r b) Inside loop 5 Points

r c) Hammer head → 5 Points

(Any 2 out of 3 max Point awarded will be 10)

First round Score (FRS) = p+q+r

Day 2: Objective – Payload Capacity

 Round 1
Take-off, complete one round of the ground and land the plane within the runway, 1st condition fig 1.1
Landing within a & b 20 Points
b & c 15 Points
c & d 10 Points
d & e 5 Points
e & f 3 Points

2nd condition

Landing within a’ & b’ 20 Points

b’ & c’ 15 Points
c’ & d’ 10 Points
d’ & e’ 5 Points
e’ & f’ 3 Points

1. Landing outside the specified area carries no points and the area where the aircraft stops within allotted
area is considered for points
2. Pilot has to call which maneuver he is about to perform to the air boss.

3. Crash landing is not considered.

  Round 2(Payload lifting)

Participants must get their own payload (standard payload)

Take flight for 30s with the payload and land on the runway.

Second Round Score (SRS) = Landing Zone point (LZP)

Payload Fraction will be considered for the final score.

Pf = the weight carried by the plane in grams / Total weight of plane in grams

Where,

FRS → First round Score

SRS → Second Round Score

BP → Bonus Points for abstract

PF → Payload Fraction

V → Volume (m3)

S → Wing span (m)

T → Assembly Time (sec)

X → Penalty Time (sec)
