Competitions

Each year we aim to compete at the British Human Powered Flying Club Competition where teams compete to perform a set of tasks over the rally.

The overall aim of the Volaticus Project is to win a Kremer Prize, competitions set up by the Royal Aeronautical Society. There are two prizes:

kremer marathon course

1. The Kremer International Marathon Competition. This prize is for completing a figure of eight course 10 times in less than 1 hour, meaning a flight speed of at least 25mph (11.25m/s)!

kremer international course

2. The Kremer International Sporting Aircraft Competition. This prize is for completing the course in 7 minutes requiring a flight speed of ~10m/s.
