The Air Cargo Challenge is an aeronautical engineering competition that is held in Europe every two years.〔http://acc2013.ubi.pt/?page_id=2〕 This competition was held for the first time in 2003 and is primarily directed to aeronautical and aerospace engineering students, similarly to the north-American Design/Build/Fly. The main objective is to design and build a radio-controlled aircraft that is able to fly with the highest possible payload according with the rules established in the competition regulations, which vary in each edition. The team’s score is not only given by the performance demonstrated in the flight competition part, but also by the technical quality of the project, through the evaluation of the design report and drawings. The event´s first edition (ACC'03) was organized by the APAE: Associação Portuguesa de Aeronáutica e Espaço (Portuguese Association of Aeronautics and Space), an aerospace group from Instituto Superior Técnico.〔http://www.apae.org.pt/home/?page_id=527&lang=en〕 From the ACC'07 onwards, the competition grew to an international level under the umbrella of EUROAVIA, the European Association of Aerospace Students, and the winning team got the possibility of organizing the next edition. The ACC of 2011 was held in the University of Stuttgart,〔http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/akamodell/ACC2013/〕 August 2011, organized by the AKAModell Stuttgart together with the EUROAVIA Stuttgart.〔http://acc2013.ubi.pt/?page_id=2〕 The Universidade da Beira Interior was the winner of this edition,〔http://acc2013.ubi.pt/?page_id=2〕 thus it took place in Portugal'. Again, the Team from Stuttgart won this Edition. The next Edition of ACC will take place in August 2015 in Stuttgart. The organization team will again be a collaboration between EUROAVIA Stuttgart and AKAModell Stuttgart. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Cargo Challenge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
