Spy Copter Challenge
Reagan National Airport, Washington, DC
Signature Flight Support
October 20, 2003
The teams were challenged to assemble a portion of the Draganflyer IV, one of the most sophisticated remote control helicopters available to the general public. They had to learn to pilot the Draganflyer as well as devise a strategy for point to point navigation for traveling to different 'cities' laid out on the tarmac. |
