The 2024 China University Aircraft Design Competition is taking place in Dingzhou City, located in Hebei Province, north China. Over 2,000 competitors from more than 100 universities and research institutions are involved in this year's event. Each team has meticulously designed and constructed their own aircraft, which will be evaluated through scaled flight testing to assess their performance.

The competition, organized by the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics, is set to continue until October 4.
