ATLAS M.ACH : 14th out of 37 Teams in the Air Cargo Challenge 2026
Two years. Countless hours of design, construction, testing, and continuous improvements. Countless decisions, revisions, and challenges that tested the endurance and limits of our team.
Every moment of this demanding journey brought us one step closer to the goal. So, when the time came, we didn’t just bring our final aircraft to Stuttgart, but the knowledge, passion, and experience we had been building for so long.
Our effort culminated in taking 14th place out of 37 teams from around the world!
Although we faced technical challenges right from the very first flight, the team worked feverishly to return the aircraft to airworthy condition. “IRIS” completed a total of 5 flights—4 of which were successful—gradually increasing payload to maximize our score.
A huge thank-you to each team member individually for their dedication, perseverance, and the countless hours they poured into this project.
A big thank-you as well to our sponsors that helped make this project possible!
