The Competition

What Is Aero Pakistan?

Aero Pakistan is a national aerospace design competition for students aged 15 to 19, where teams design, build, and fly their own unpowered gliders.

Using professional materials and engineering principles, participants create aircraft from scratch, launch them using the official Aero Pakistan launcher, and refine their designs to compete for excellence in innovation, and execution.

Throughout the journey, students develop technical and entrepreneurial skills, build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and experience the thrill of bringing their ideas to life.
