The HKUST Student Branch of AIAA organized a number of different educational, enrichment and technical

activities over the past year:

[Talks by Industry Professionals] – “Open Climb” delivered by Captain Gabriel Yu

This talk was delivered by Mr Gabriel Yu, an airline captain who has been working in

the aviation industry for more than 20 years. Around 35 students attended this talk.

Captain Yu discussed his experience in aviation, how he started his career as an airline

pilot and what to expect when young students first enter the aviation industry. Students

asked a lot of intriguing questions about the industry, particularly regarding how they

can better prepare themselves for it within and beyond the university curriculum and

programs. This talk gave students from all across the university (i.e. engineering,

science and business) a better idea of what positions are available in the aviation

industry and how they can better equip themselves for the challenges ahead.

[Talks by Industry Professionals] – “Insider News On the Importance of Pilots in the Next 20 Years” by Nigel Leung

Nigel Leung was formerly an airline pilot with the Hong Kong Dragon Airlines

Limited (now rebranded as Cathay Dragon). He quit his job and later established Aero

Institute AI-HK. Around 25 students attended the talk. Most of them have strong

passion towards aviation and would like to make it a lifelong career as an airline pilot.

Nigel shared a lot of important and useful advice, with lots of interactions with the

participants.

[Tour] – Aviation Tour to Mainland China

In order to give HKUST students greater exposure to aviation and to prepare them for the aviation industry, the HKUST AIAA

Student Branch organized an aviation tour to different places every year.

In December 2015, the Student Branch organized an aviation tour to mainland China for HKUST students. It was a 6-day trip in

Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing, starting from 20th December 2015 to 25th December 2015. The trip included 3 faculty members

from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and 23 HKUST students who are extremely enthusiastic about

aviation and would like to work in the aviation industry in the near future. We spent around 2 days in each city, visiting well-

known aviation-related companies, as well as universities in China.

The trip was very successful thanks to the generous support of the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, the

Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the Department of Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management,

and Tianjin University.

Visit to Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd.

We visited the final assembly

line in COMAC. C919, the

largest commercial airliner

designed and built in China,

was being assembled when we

visited COMAC. We learnt

some of the advanced features

of C919. We also gained

important insights into how the

aviation industry in China

works.

Visit to GE’s China Technology Centre

In GE-CTC, the speaker kindly introduced the company’s background and what the

centre does. We learnt a lot of essential engineering management procedures, as

well as other engineering disciplines.

Visit to Tianjin University

We visited the History Museum of Tianjin

University. We learnt some important events

related to Tianjin University in the timeline of

Chinese History. Furthermore, we visited the

laboratories where postgraduate students used

to do experiments. The visit to Tianjin

University was really enlightening and

meaningful.

Visit to Airbus Tianjin

We visited the Airbus Tianjin Final Assembly Line. In this assembly line,

the A320 Family aircrafts were being assembled. We had a better

understanding of how the A320s airliners are assembled and delivered to

airlines.

Visit to Civil Aviation University of China

The visit to CAUC was very impressive. We saw a wide range of retired

aircraft engines and retired airliners in the university, some of which were

very famous and important in aviation history. Students were very excited to

see all those retired aircrafts.

Visit to China Civil Aviation Museum

The museum was built to showcase the development of China's aviation industry and achievements China has made in this

sector. We could see some retired aircrafts in the yard. Inside the museum included different areas, some of which exhibited a

wide variety of both model and real airplanes.

[Tour] – Visit to the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department

In order to let students better understand how HKCAD works and what HKCAD does within the aviation industry, we organized

a visit to HKCAD in early February 2016. Around 20 students participated in this visit. An HKCAD officer showed us a mock-

up of the actual office where air traffic controllers work. He also explained to us a lot of responsibilities HKCAD bears. This visit

actually gave us a lot of important insights into the industry.

[Competition] – 2016 AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competition in Wichita, Kansas

A team of 15 HKUST engineering

students participated in the 2016

AIAA Design/Build/Fly

Competition, which was held in

Wichita, Kansas. They spent

countless hours working on their

model planes, designing, building

and test flying their engineering

concepts. Throughout the

competition, they demonstrated

teamwork, ingenuity and

perseverance, achieving second place in Asia and first place in Hong Kong.

[Competition] – Airbus Fly Your Ideas

Two teams of HKUST students participated in Airbus’ Fly Your Ideas competition. They came up with innovative ideas to solve

real-world engineering problems in aircraft design and aviation. For example, one of their ideas was to design and build modular

aircraft seating that can be replaced on-demand depending on the relative balance of passenger demand and cargo demand. They

successfully reached Round 2 of competition in March. They applied their classroom education and lab training to solve aviation

challenges and innovated for the future of sustainable aviation. This experience was of immense value to the students.

[Tour] - Langley AFB, Air Show Promotion

After the 2016 AIAA DBF competition, the HKUST Student Branch of AIAA went to an air show called “Air Power over

Hampton Roads” celebrating the 100-year historical moment. The air show was extremely enlightening, and we enjoyed it a lot.
