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.

Student AirRace is a legally independent initiative originally founded by students of the Technical University of Munich. Since 2025, it has been organized and further developed by EUROAVIA Munich, allowing the event to benefit from the association’s structure, experience, and international student network.
