STUDENT AIRRACE

Join the race of the future

Our Mission

Student AirRace is the first eVTOL racing competition designed for student teams from all around the world.

We attract the future talents of the Urban Air Mobility industry and give them a platform and chance to improve and challenge themselves in an exciting and competitive environment.

Current Status

We are currently working on building the initial prototype to demonstrate the feasibility of large drones and to inspire the design process of the competing teams.

Registration is Open!

Teams can now register for the inaugural competition of Student AirRace being held in 2024. Register your team or let us help you connect with other interested people from your university. Sign up until now to profit from the 33% reduced sign-up fee!

Our Team

Student AirRace was founded and is organized by a team of voluntary students from the Technical University of Munich in cooperation with industry experts.

We are an officially accredited interdisciplinary and multicultural student club. Due to their past experiences, our members have gained a lot of knowledge and network in the areas required to set up Student AirRace.

"To continue their growth many Drone-Economy companies are in desperate need of motivated and qualified career starters. Yet the job market has dried up. This is a big problem for the industry. Student AirRace is attempting to solve this issue."

You can be a member of the organising team!

Are you a student from Munich who wants to work in the racing industry?

Are you highly motivated?

Do you love racing and aviation?

Everyone is welcome, regardless of what you study!

FAQs

  • We are always happy to hear from people who are just as interested in the topic as we are and want to make it become a reality. If you are a student, you can found your own or join a student team at your university to take part in the competition. You can also take part in the design of the regulations and the competition by joining the organizational team. If you are an expert in the field, we would love to hear you feedback. And if you are a company interested in sponsoring we are also always happy to hear from you.

  • We are flying in the A3 class defined by the EASA. This means our UAVs are officially drones with a weight of less than 25kg and don’t need certification or a SORA approval. This makes it very easy for teams to get started. Yet in order to craft a safe competition we will have very strict design and safety regulations which will be comparable the SORA SAIL III.

  • The aircrafts will be Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (so called UAVs) weighing less than 25k and a size of roughly 2mx2m and a fixed propeller configuration.

  • UAV racing has been a very popular sport for some time now. Currently there are even manufacturers working on manned eVTOL racing leagues. We calculated that a drone built according to our regulations will have a topspeed of 180kph and acceleration of four times gravity.

  • Student AirRace is purely a student competition. Only teams consisting of students from universities are allowed to join the competition.
