The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) here is to organise a “biplane design, fabrication and flying” workshop as part of ‘Conscientia,’ a technical festival to be held here from March 23 to 25.
The workshop is aimed at developing an aircraft with innovative design and providing experience in different areas of aircraft engineering for students, according to a press release here.
A biplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with two superimposed main wings. The Wright brothers and others used the biplane design in the early years of aviation.
Lectures, design sessions, fabrication sessions and flying would be held as part of the workshop.
