Learn. Build. Fly - #UAS2026 starts this September!

[IMechEUASChallenge @IMechEUAS]

The countdown is ON. Just a few weeks left until the UAS Challenge fly off — months of design, testing, and teamwork all come down to this. Every late night, every iteration, every flight test has been building to this moment. See you at the flight line! #throwback #UAS2026

Teams: guidance has been released to complete the Flight Readiness Review (FRR) Certificate Form F701, which is due in by Friday 12 June 2026. In particular you should submit a copy of your FRR meeting minutes, as soon after the meeting as possible. https://t.co/bWP1wARKly

There's nothing like a successful UAS mission in the sun, who's looking forward to showing their aircraft at this year's fly off? #uas #throwback

From first takeoff to final flight, the UAS Challenge continues to prove what student engineers can achieve. Who's looking forward to this year's fly off? #throwback #uaschallenge

[IMechEUASChallenge @IMechEUAS]

Here’s to the teams turning ideas into flight and ambition into altitude at the UAS Challenge! #throwback

UAS teams: bringing big energy, bold ideas, and innovative approaches 🚀#throwbackthursday

[IMechEUASChallenge @IMechEUAS]

It’s always inspiring to look back at the ingenuity and passion our teams put into their aircraft. Who remembers their favourite design from 2023? 👀

We have two rules clarifications:

Rule T2.5.1 should say “40 kts IAS” not “40 kts ground speed”.

The A0 poster should summarise Design, Development, Manufacturing and Testing achievements, the innovations in their design and the attention to safety and environmental issues.

[IMechEUASChallenge @IMechEUAS]

The Fly-Off isn’t just about the aircraft in the air — it’s about the collaboration, problem-solving, and determination that gets it there. Every launch is a reminder of what passionate engineers can achieve together. #throwbackthursday #UASChallenge

Build flight-ready UAS with our partners @ANSYS. As you prepare for the #UASChallenge, understanding how your UAS behaves in real-world conditions is just as important as the final build - see what an Ansys Student Team Partnership can mean for your team: https://t.co/QZ4BbBuoT8
