Akamodell Stuttgart e.V.

We are thrilled to disclose our model for the upcoming Air Cargo Challenge 2024 in Aachen!

Although we were quite secretive about it, the team has been hard at work since last August!

The design process started with the publication of the regulation, after which we swiftly set up a wind tunnel test campaign to test a multitude of propellers and get data for the new aircraft design framework that our team has developed.

Once we had the data, the following months were used to select the overall configuration, optimise the sizing of the aircraft while trading different airfoil and propeller options.

The construction of the molds then took place at the beginning of the year, followed by the building of the model using our tried and tested construction method.

The first flight successfully took place last week, and the flight performance is meeting every expectation! A second model is already in construction!

We would like to thank our sponsors for this edition of the ACC: -Systems .de

While we finish the preparations, we are eager to enter the competition, and of course look forward to meet our friends from the other ACC teams!
