Atlas Composites inspires aerospace engineers of the future
Taylor will offer practical engineering support to a team of students, aged 13 and 14, as he mentors 'Team Raptor' - aptly named after the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor 5th generation fighter.
Taylor's team of budding engineers from the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy in Swindon will be challenged to develop a solution to an engineering problem against other teams from the surrounding area. Over the course of the day, participants will choose materials to fit within a given budget, work collaboratively under the guidance of their team leader, test the ability of their vehicles and finally compete for the Champion’s Shield in the public arena where they will need to perform a speed challenge over sand, and endeavour to transport goods from the start to the end of the circuit.
Tri@RIAT sponsors Lockheed Martin will be joined by industry partners for the two day event to be held at RAF Fairford 7- 8th July.
The winning team will be announced by Lockheed Martin executive vice president Tom Burbage.
