CATEGORY Controllability

4
Aircraft was fully controllable and could climb, descend, and turn both directions as desired by the operator.

3
Aircraft was mostly controllable and could accomplish 3 of 4 functions (climb, descend, turn left and turn right) as desired by the operator. Aircraft functions well, holding up under typical stresses.

2
Aircraft was somewhat controllable and could accomplish 2 of 4 functions (climb, descend, turn left and turn right) as desired by the operator. Aircraft functions pretty well, but deteriorates under typical stresses.

1
Aircraft was hardly or not controllable and accomplished less than 2 of 4 functions (climb, descend, turn left and turn right) as desired by the operator. Fatal flaws in function with complete failure under typical stresses.

Function

Aircraft functions extraordinarily well, holding up under atypical stresses.

Construction - Care Great care taken in Construction was construction careful and Taken
process so that the structure is neat, attractive and follows plans accurately.

accurate for the most part, but 1-2 details could have been refined for a more attractive product. Explanations by all group members indicate a relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.

Construction accurately followed the plans, but 3-4 details could have been refined for a more attractive product. Explanations by most group members indicate relatively accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Some evidence of troubleshooting, testing and refinements.

Construction appears careless or haphazard. Many details need refinement for a strong or attractive product. Explanations by several members of the group do not illustrate much understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications. Little evidence of troubleshooting, testing or refinement.

Engineering Design Process and Scientific Principles

Explanations by all group members indicate a clear and accurate understanding of scientific principles underlying the construction and modifications.

Modification/Testing Clear evidence of

Clear evidence of troubleshooting, troubleshooting, testing, and testing and refinements based refinements. on data or scientific principles. The aircraft was successfully flown between 1/2 and 3/4 of the flying course.

Course Completion The aircraft was

successfully flown around the entire flying course.

The aircraft was successfully flown between 1/4 and 1/2 of the flying course.

The aircraft was flown 1/4 or less of the flying course.
