Mission Synopsis

The Hive’s first eco flying mission! This week-long project is all about INVENTION. Your challenge: dream up, design, build and power a zero-carbon flying machine that can take to the air long enough for you to win Gold at our inaugural Air Show!

First you will need to investigate flying and how it actually works: how does a flying machine get off the ground? How does it keep going? Then come the design and aeronautics: will it glide, will it use a propeller like a helicopter, wings like a plane or buoyancy like a hot air balloon?

On this mission, working with your fellow inventors you will get the chance to build and test different prototypes, building on glider, parachute, air balloon, plane and helicopter technology.

If all goes well, you will be taking to the skies on the last day of the mission to take part in our very own Air Show– albeit on a smaller scale! Which team's invention will win Gold? Aerobatics optional

A THRILLING BLEND OF DESIGN, AERONAUTICS AND INVENTION WITH LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR QUICK RESPONSE PROTOTYPING.
