Elementary School Paper Plane Challenge
• February Each Year• 4 students per team – Written Report – Oral
Interview - Timed Build – Jumbo Paper Clip is “Passenger”
• Performance Score: Length x Speed x Accuracy– Length = Length of Flight– Speed = Length of Flight / Time of Flight– Accuracy = 1 – Deviation / Length of Flight
• Deviation is distance from center line
• Contact Tom Milnes at [email protected] for latest rules.

Setup for Paper Plane Challenge
Start Line
L = Length
d = deviation
Speed = Length / Time*
Accuracy = (1-d/L)
*Time from throw to plane stops sliding on floor - “Gate Time”rather than “Landing Time”

High School Electric Cargo Plane Challenge
• New MESA Competition!!!!• Plane built by student teams of 1-4 students must
complete one lap of tethered flight with and without cargo about a “power pole” (which distributes electrical power via the tether)– Plane must be 8” off the ground at all times
• Other Components– Report– Oral Interview– Design Score
• Contact Tom Milnes at [email protected] for latest rules.
