Boeing gives wings to student endeavours

New Delhi: Tabrez Nadvi has been building planes since he was in 10th standard. His dream is to build a one-seater aircraft for himself and fly across the world.
The 21-year-old aeronautical engineer from ACS College of Engineering, Bangalore, along with his two team members, Pavan and Vignesh, has won the first Boeing National Aeromodelling Competition.
“It took us just three days to build the plane and we bunked a month of college for flying practice,” says Nadvi.
The competition was organised by Boeing, in association with the IITs of Kanpur, Delhi, Bombay, Madras and Kharagpur. About 170 teams participated in the aircraft design and flying competition, of which 14 teams made it to the finals.
