足球竞彩app排名s Excel in the 2022 CAMASA – GDED Collaborative Aerospace Design Challenge
The Collaborative Aerospace Design Challenge is a joint initiative by the Commercial Aerospace Manufacturing Association of South Africa (CAMASA) and Gauteng Department of Education (GDED) to nurture young engineering talent in the aerospace industry.
The inaugural CAMASA – GDED Collaborative Aerospace Design Challenge recently reached the finale on Saturday 17th September 2022, with the judging of the airframes built by teams of university engineering students.
This event had eight competing teams who were required to design and manufacture their drone aircraft concepts, to perform last-mile drone deliveries of groceries (not exceeding 1 kg) from a local retail store. Each team was made up of three engineering students from the University of the Witwatersrand and three from the University of Pretoria, a unique format that encourages teamwork and collaboration between these two institutions. The teams built their drones, under the mentorship and guidance of Adam Rosman at the Aerial Monitoring Solutions (AMS) workshops. The judging event was hosted by the School of Mechanical, Industrial & Aeronautical Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand, and the participating teams presented to a panel of 5 judges from industry and academia, showcasing their drone design and manufacturing processes. Credit is due to the teams who presented innovative and distinct ways of solving the given drone design problem.
Congratulations to Team Falcon and United Avionics, for having their builds approved to be presented at the CAMASA stand for this year’s African Aerospace and Defense (AAD) Expo. Following on from this first round, two additional teams: NAVA and Concord, got approval to progress to the flight-testing round, which will be hosted at the University of Pretoria later this year.
