Objectives

Model aircraft activities worldwide began in 1905 with the establishment of the CIAM (Commission Internationale Aeromodelling) Model Aircraft Committee under the FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) in France. One of the first examples of an RC (Radio-Controlled) Model Aircraft System in history was the "Aerial Target" platform, developed by A. M. LOW in 1916. The first Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the "Kettering Bug," was an air torpedo manufactured in 1918 by the British C. Kettering. In 1930, the British Royal Navy developed a radio-controlled UAV called the Queen Bee to help pilots practice targeting. In 1939, the United States developed a radio-controlled model aircraft named Radioplane OQ-2. In Turkey, aviation activities began under the directives of the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with the establishment of the Turkish Aeronautical Association (Türk Hava Kurumu) on February 16, 1925, the Türkkuşu General Directorate on May 3, 1935, and the Model Aircraft School in the same year. This field, which has continued to develop since those years, still plays a crucial role in encouraging young people to engage in aviation activities and gain employment in the field. Through our project, we aim to leverage the priorities of Erasmus Plus to teach young people how to build model aircraft while helping them: Gain theoretical knowledge about airplanes and aviation, Learn the stages of model aircraft construction, such as aerodynamics, fuselage construction, wing construction, assembly, and coating, Acquire the skills to transform theoretical information and technical data into practice, Develop the ability to accurately interpret, read, and apply the provided information, Learn about important and established institutions like the Turkish Aeronautical Association (THK) and FAI, understanding their operations and structures, Be inspired by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s motto, “The future is in the skies!” and apply this principle to their own lives, moving forward with this awareness, Disseminate the knowledge they gain here in their own communities and countries, encouraging more young people to take up this field. In addition to our main goals, participants will engage in both planned and unplanned learning activities throughout the project. Accordingly, young people will: Develop a sense of teamwork as they work in groups to build model aircraft, Gain competencies in collaboration and cooperation, Improve their skills in evaluation, questioning, analysis, and forming judgments, Become more aware of how to interpret data correctly, express themselves in a foreign language, engage in discussions, and approach different ideas with respect, Acquire the ability to plan, prepare, organize, and execute a project from start to finish, Become more actively involved in social activities and volunteer work. These outcomes will ensure that participants both enjoy aviation and become more conscious and involved in this field.
