Ingenium Aerospace Sponsors the First Robotics Competition (FRC)

Ingenium Aerospace is sponsoring the 2008 First Robotics Competition for the Rockford High School students of Team 2039. This unique multi-international competition challenges teams of young people and their mentors to build robots from a kit of parts to solve a common problem in just six weeks. This competition is considered to be a “sport of the mind” and is designed to help high school students discover the interesting and rewarding life of research and engineering. As a corporate sponsor, Ingenium Aerospace will make its professional senior engineers available for support and guidance in additional to providing financial support. The FRC winners will be announced in March 2008 and are rewarded for excellence in design, team spirit, professionalism and the ability to overcome obstacles.

Ingenium Aerospace is the 2008 Aerostar Corporate Sponsor

Ingenium Aerospace is the corporate sponsor of Team Aerostar USA, a precision flight demonstration team whose aerial ballet captivates air show audiences large and small. The team is known for its graceful aerobatics flown in flight formation and spectacular breakaways followed by breath-taking opposing passes and inverted maneuvers. The team performs over 15 family-oriented shows throughout the country in the Yak 52 TW, a former Soviet designed, Romanian built, WWII-type trainer.

Ingenium Aerospace will participate in the majority of the Aerostar shows throughout the year and will sponsor Corporate Receptions at three of the team’s highlight performances. We will host Corporate Receptions at the Prairie Air Show in Peoria, Illinois on April 19 – 20, the Southern Wisconsin Airfest in Janesville, Wisconsin on May 24- 25 and the spectacular, EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin from July 28 – August 3. Our corporate event will be held in a tent adjacent to the main runway with comfortable seating, refreshments, signed Aerostar posters and hat and t-shirt give-aways. Plus, we will hold a raffle at each reception for VIP rides on the Team Aerostar, Yak 52 plane. If you and family would like to join us for these special shows, contact us at support@Ingeniumaerospace.com.
