Make it fly was designed with one thing in mind… to put your creative tendencies to the test, to push them like they’ve never been pushed before, to answer the age old question … how far can I make a aluminium drinking can fly? You’re limited only by your imagination and a budget of 20 bucks.

This competition is the sort of thing that makes me wish I was still at school… It is so cool… They should extend it to the general population as well.

I’m sure with $20 you could make a pretty good plane.

I am thinking… 20 - 30 cans (you can get an 18 pack for around $10), all cut to form a large biplane that is held together by duct/cloth tape and toothpicks. That is my pick for how you could design a decent flying machine.
