Bangalore: Their aircraft crashed five times in a row. The worst part is this. It crashed just ahead of an aeromodelling contest, leaving its builders with only a few hours to put it together again.
The students built it in three hours straight, tested it in the morning and packed it before catching a Delhi-bound train in the afternoon. Their efforts paid off: they stood first in the national level aeromodelling competition organised by Boeing and five IITs.
Meet the trio from ACS College of Engineering, Bangalore who made the city proud by defeating 170 other teams in the National Aeromodelling Competition at New Delhi. Interestingly, the first runner-up position was also bagged by another Bangalore team (BMS College of Engineering).
Tabrez Nadvi, a third-year aeronautical engineering student from ACS was logged into Facebook and by chance, came across the aeromodelling competition page. He and his friends enrolled and stood third in the zonal level competition held at IIT Kharagpur.
