Aderholt Congratulates Alabama Real World Design Challenge Winners From Fort Payne High School
School visits Washington, DC to represent Alabama in the national competition

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04), today released the following statement congratulating Fort Payne High School for winning the Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) and welcoming them to Washington, DC as they compete for the national RWDC title.

“Congratulations to the Fort Payne High School Real World Design Challenge team,” said Aderholt. “It’s wonderful to see these bright young minds come together and rise to a real-world aerospace and engineering challenge. Their work in the Real World Design Challenge will provide them with invaluable experience as they continue their education and enter the workforce. I am proud to welcome them to Washington, DC and wish the team the best of luck as they represent our great state and compete in the national competition this weekend.”

The Real World Design Challenge is anaerospace and engineering design competition that empowers high school students with real world experiences that are required for success in real jobs and careers in the 21st century. The Challenge began in 2008 but this is the first year that Alabama has participated.

This year’s engineering challenge was to design within the provided engineering software an efficient, low-carbon-emission and environmentally friendly personal light sport aircraft. The aircraft had to accommodate two team members and fly 200 miles in less than two hours at a cruise altitude of 1000 feet above ground level (AGL) minimum.

Aderholt currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security for the powerful House AppropriationsCommittee, is a member of the Committee’s Commerce, Justice and Science; and Agriculture Subcommittees, and also serves on the Helsinki Commission.
