Select the "aircraft" according to the performance parameters and the starting funds to complete the rescue mission in the "disaster area";Use the "**" with the parameters of your own design to "fight" the "enemy" for red and blue confrontation......On December 10th, the first primary and secondary school aircraft design invitational competition hosted by Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics was hotly opened. Nearly 80 teams of primary and secondary school students from all over the country gathered in the Beihang Gymnasium to compete on the same stage, integrating first-class technology and design practice teaching, and completing various task challenges in the two projects of "Aviation Rescue Competition" and "Collaborative Competition".
According to reports, on the basis of the 2023 China College Students Engineering Practice and Innovation Ability Competition, Beihang University held the first primary and secondary school aircraft design invitational competition. A total of nearly 80 teams and more than 200 people from more than 40 high schools, junior high schools and primary schools in 6 provinces (municipalities directly under the central government) participated in the competition. The competition sets up two competition topics: aviation rescue competition and collaborative confrontation competition, and carries out the competition based on the virtual first-class experimental system created by new technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence, and is oriented to the new model of innovative engineering talent training for education digitalization, so as to improve the comprehensive quality of young people such as serving the country, system concept, innovative thinking, cutting-edge vision, and teamwork, and at the same time explore the innovative mode of large, medium and small training.
A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily saw in the Beihang Gymnasium that from primary school students to high school students sat in teams, each with a computer, focusing on completing various challenges and tasks, showing teamwork ability, planning ability and full enthusiasm for science and technology. The secondary school of Beihang Experimental School has 4 teams participating in the competition. Hu Xiaoyan and Zhuang Zehao, who are in the second year of high school, formed a team to participate in the aviation rescue competition and entered the finals. "Our task is to select the team's participating aircraft according to the initial funds, as well as the internal and external load, fuel volume, speed, suspension, load and other parameters of the 'aircraft', and then design the disaster relief route plan according to the rescue tasks of the 10 'disaster areas' given, and complete the tasks in the 2 and a half hours of the race. The final score should not only compare the rescue time and cost, but also look at the disaster relief effect. They told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that their school attaches great importance to cultivating students' scientific and technological literacy, and the school's "Science and Technology Innovation Research Institute" is the school's head club, and projects such as model aircraft groups, popular science, and underwater robots often win awards in the country, "There are often university teachers to tutor our extracurricular scientific and technological activities, and students also have the opportunity to participate in scientific research projects in university laboratories." ”
After several rounds of fierce competition, the invitational competition produced the first, second and third prizes for the two topics of the aviation rescue competition and the collaborative competition respectively, and a total of 32 teams won the awards. At the closing ceremony of the competition, Wu Ximing, director of the Emergency Rescue Branch of the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics and chief designer of Wuzhi 10***, and Xu Chaoliang, deputy director of the China National Design Institute and chief designer of AC313***, were invited to attend and explain the development process of China's first class for the contestants. The two chief teachers were pleased with the students' strong interest in the aerospace field, and expressed their hope to see more young people devote themselves to China's aviation industry in the future.
