valerie taylor on 28 Jul 12The Kentucky Wing Design Competition (KWDC) competition is sponsored by NASA Kentucky and is intended to provide an introduction to aircraft design. Student teams will design, fabricate, and demonstrate the flight capabilities of a wing to replace the stock Hobbico® NexSTAR™ wing. The goal of the competition is to design and build a high-performance wing, while demonstrating a balance between practical and affordable manufacturing techniques and good flight characteristics. The design objective is to produce a wing that, when mounted on the NexSTAR™ fuselage, has a high payload-to-wing-weight ratio and is efficient for high-speed flight.
