This latest egg activity will focus students on designing, building and launching an aircraft into the air whilst carrying both a chicken and quail egg. It is capable of being run in a school or even as a stand-alone activity by companies, educational groups etc but requires students to conduct some basic research about the aerospace industry and in particular space tourism. It can be run over a number of sessions or can be shortened according to the requirements of the session.
The aircraft design will be limited by specific size and weight criteria and it will not be powered. Students will also be required to design and build a launch device and to produce a system to ensure that its ‘cargo’ remains intact during flight and landing.
