Aeromodelling
To make simple and affordable, more importantly, to give a hands-on approach we at young innovators have structured an experimental methodology to explore the Aeromodelling
principles and flight mechanics most easily.
WORKSHOPS
Participate in our Aeromodelling workshops to understand the importance of skills and experimental based learning. It aims at simplifying the concepts of aerodynamics and flight principals to gain and understand different types of aircraft and flying techniques.
Who can Enroll ? Anybody with a passion for making planes.
Interested educational institutions or organizations can also enroll in the workshops.
Interested to have it customized as per your requirements? We shall have it for you !
