Stahl fliegt

The na­tion­wide com­pe­ti­tion of uni­ver­sity stu­dents called ‘stahl fliegt’ is ta­king place again. The uni­ver­sity of Bremen par­ti­ci­pates for the se­cond time to this com­pe­ti­tion and or­ga­nises once again the po­ject for stu­dents en­rolled in the courses pro­duc­tion in­dus­trial en­gi­nee­ring and busi­ness ma­na­ge­ment.

Ai­ming to reach the lon­gest flight du­ra­tion, stu­dents have to de­sign and build an air­plane with steel. The spe­ci­alty of this pro­ject ap­pears to be the con­struc­tion ma­te­rial. The air­plane is sup­posed to be built of at least se­venty per­cent iron and must not ex­ceed 400 grams. Con­si­de­ring this it seems dif­fi­cult to use steel with its high den­sity as a light weight con­struc­tion ma­te­rial.

The stu­dent team of last year was able to achieve the se­cond place in the na­tional com­pe­ti­tion. We are ai­ming to re­pro­duce this suc­cess on july 5^th to 6^th 2010 in Düs­sel­dorf.
