Aviation Excellence

Aviation Excellence is a fast-paced experiential learning opportunity for participants to engage in team and leadership dynamics to strategize, build and execute on their ideas. Using both technical specifications and design requirements, team members make choices for how to use their resources to build a model airplane to achieve success.

The Aviation Excellence activity measures success by evaluating how successfully each team:

1. Achieves engineering specifications
2. Completes creative requirements
3. Manages their budget – cost of materials and resources to meet objectives
4. Flies their plane
   • Longest distance
   • Aloft the longest
   • Target accuracy
