Using detailed plans and recyclable materials, teams split into sub-teams to build a 1:4 scale F18 jet. They decorate it with decals and decide who will be the pilot and engines! The challenge peaks with a choreographed air show where teams combine speed, precision, and communication for a show-stopping fly-by.

Description
Learning Outcomes
Flat Out Top Gun tests every aspect of effective teamwork — clear communication, resourcefulness, planning and performance under pressure. Participants learn to think ahead as they break a complex project into manageable tasks and coordinate sub-teams working in parallel. Cross-team alignment is critical as each component must fit perfectly into the final build. The final air show highlights the importance of synchronisation and adaptability as teams navigate their aircraft together. This energising experience demonstrates that ambitious goals can be achieved when everyone understands the bigger picture, commits to their role and supports each other to deliver a high-impact, shared success — Top Gun style!
