4 teams of SEG-DAA students participated in the recently concluded Singapore Amazing Flying Machine Competition 2011 (held from 10 to 18 Mar).
Despite intense competition from a field of 36 teams (comprising teams from NUS, NTU, SIM, NIE and the 5 Polys), our students impressed the judges with their ingenious flying craft designs, sound application of aerodynamic principles and sublime flying skills. In the process, our students managed to stand out from the rest in the presentation and flying phases of the competition, and clinched the following 4 awards:
Gold and Silver – Best Theory of Flight
Gold and Silver – Best Aesthetic
One of our students’ design was inspired by the Hunter Killer Drone in the movie Terminator 3 - which drew special commendation from the judges.
