Chapter Supports Local UAV Teams

In July, the chapter provided cash donations and co-sponsored two Mini-UAV competitions for three local teams: AERO Services, Zenith Challenge Project and Synergy Hampton Roads. These teams teach students about basic flight principles for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), vehicle design and fabrication, and competition at the local and collegiate levels. Synergy Hampton Roads took 10 high school students to Pax River, Maryland, in mid-June for the international collegiate competition. AERO Services wrapped up its second session of instruction for middle school students with a Mini-UAV Competition at Air Power Park and Museum in Hampton co-sponsored by the chapter and the Hampton Parks and Recreation at the Air Power Park and Museum.
