ZALA supported the All-Russian competition for young model aircraft enthusiasts
ZALA partnered a major model aircraft competition, which took place from 1 to 7 July at the Centre for Patriotic Education of the Izhevsk «Pirogovo» Flying Club. This marked the fifth time that the All-Russian Scientific and Technical Olympiad for school pupils in the «Radio-controlled Models» category and the Russian Championship for Radio-controlled Aeromodels had been held here.
Over 100 young pilots aged 7–18 from Udmurtia, Tatarstan, Komi, Perm Krai, Sverdlovsk, Novosibirsk, Kirov, Nizhny Novgorod, Tyumen, and Tomsk Oblasts took part. During the competition, the youngsters demonstrated their skill in operating radio-controlled models of various classes – from high-speed racing electric aircraft to complex semi-scale aircraft and classic schematic models. The young aero modellers also underwent theoretical tests on their knowledge of the structure and operating principles of aviation equipment.
Supporting such competitions forms part of ZALA’s systematic efforts to foster engineering and technical creativity amongst young people. The company supports educational initiatives for children, promotes careers in aviation, and helps train personnel for high-tech sectors.
