From screaming jet-engines to roaring children
Since the noise production of our own DUT09 is around 110dB, we thought we would be used to hard noises. Well, these 110dB’s are nothing compared with a F-16 flying over in formation with an Avro Vulcan or 1000 very enthusiastic children from 10 to 14 years old at the same time at a fair.
On the 19th and 20th of June, the DUT Racing team was helping representing Stork Fokker at the open days of the Dutch Airforce. Stork Fokker has an important role in the development of the new Joint Strike Fighter, only this already shows that Stork Fokker is close connected to the Dutch Airforce. More about this and what we were doing there, besides being a eye-catcher, will be told in our “soon to be released” newsletter of July.
The Game-On fair on the 23rd and 24th of June, was meant to promote technology amongst children who are about to chose their field of study. Many different, types of, employees were present to show how great technology is. Together with URE and others, the DUT Racing team was representing the Technology Universities of the Netherlands to show what the higher education has to offer.
