Solar Plane

Design a solar powered aircraft and to prove that your ideas work build a model and fly it.

The plane must be powered by solar panels that can be mounted separately to it and the power stored on a super capacitor. A maximum of 4 solar panels can be used to power the plane.

The plane must be scratch built by the team entering it into the competition.

Judging Criteria

The plane will be judged on how far it can fly or how long it will stay in the air.
