Subject: To propose AeroSkill workshop on building RC-Controlled Aircrafts.

JILIT & Botrio works on designing and developing experiential learning tools. The vision of
the company is to develop and promote the spirit of science and technology to students, enabling
them to have hands on feel of technology and its applications. Our core belief lies in propagating
the concept of learning by doing- Knowledge by action. Some of our current clients include IITBombay, IIT-Bhubaneswar, IT-BHU, NIT-Durgapur MITCOE-Pune, Amrita University-Coimbatore,
Karunya University, ITM-Gwalior and many more.
"There is no sport equal to that which aviators enjoy while being carried through the air
on great white wings."
AeroSkill is a workshop designed to provide a practical introduction to Radio Controlled Aircraft
development fundamentals. During the workshop students will be introduced to major concepts
of Aerospace Engineering like Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics, Propulsion and Structures; in
addition some basics of electronics (radio controls, motors). This workshop is dedicated to help
and encourage the participants to solve real time problem involved in making of glider aircraft, so
that student will stimulate their theoretical knowledge in to practical.
The trainers conducting this workshop have relevant experience in the field. They have
conducted workshop in IITs, NITs and other premier engineering colleges across India. Our
relationship with students continues even after the workshop where we offer online and offline
technical support to convert their ideas into reality.
The proposed course will be conducted for 21 Hour, document containing session plan are
in the following pages. I hope they present a clear understanding of the content outline, in case
you wish any additional information please contact me and I would be happy to answer any of
your queries. Kindly review the proposal and revert with your response at the earliest. Im looking
forward for a positive and continued synergy between your esteemed institution and our
organization.

Yours Sincerely,
