Three ways to engineer.
A team can enroll in the following classes.
MC
Manual Class
The team takes part in the MC Static Events and in the MC Dynamic Events. All flights are performed with a pilot controlling the aircraft.
AC
Automatic Class
The team takes part in the AC Static Events and in the AC Dynamic Events. Part of the dynamic events are performed without a pilot controlling the aircraft.
A team that enrolls in the Design Class cannot do so in the Manual or Automatic Classes.
A team can enroll simultaneously for Manual and Automatic Classes.
The challenge is the whole aircraft.
Teams must make engineering decisions visible, defend them under evaluation and prove their work in competition.
