AICP India · For Grades 6–12

Your child won't just learn why planes fly. They'll build one.

AICP is a 30-hour, live online aerospace certificate program led by Dr. M.R.K. Menon. Your child builds real aircraft and rocket models at home, then learns the physics that makes them fly.

The gap nobody talks about

Ask a topper what Newton's third law is. Now ask them to show you.

Most children can recite the physics. Very few have ever made it work with their own hands. Marks go up while curiosity goes quiet, and the hours after school drift to screens.

  • Theory without touch

    Science is learned for the exam, then forgotten. Nothing is built, tested or flown.

  • Screens fill the free hours

    Games and reels are designed to hold attention. Your child's curiosity deserves something better to hold.

  • Careers nobody has shown them

    Children choose streams before they have seen what engineers, designers and scientists actually do.

AICP turns that around in 30 hours.

Why aerospace

Physics your child can hold in their hands

Every model your child builds is a lesson in disguise: lift, thrust, drag, weight, stability and energy. It is the most hands-on way we know to make school science click, and a step beyond the coding and robotics classes many children have already tried.

  • Learning by doing

    India's National Education Policy 2020 puts experiential learning at the centre of school education. AICP is built entirely around it.

  • It connects to the syllabus

    Forces, motion, energy and pressure: the concepts in your child's science textbook, made visible.

  • A profile that stands out

    A certificate, a documented project and competition entries that set your child apart.

Introducing AICP

Build first. Understand after.

AICP is Global AeroSports' Aerospace Intensive Certificate Program for students in Grades 6 to 12. In live online classes, your child builds alongside the instructor, then learns exactly why their model flies.

  • Aeromodelling

    Build model aircraft and learn lift, the four forces and control surfaces.

  • Model rocketry

    Construct rockets and understand thrust, stability and staging.

  • RC technology

    How radio control works: transmitters, receivers, servos and the electronics behind them.

  • Drone technology

    How drones fly, the principles of UAVs, and the rules that govern them.

What arrives at your door

A real kit, not just a login

Before the first class, a Global AeroSports kit is couriered to your home with everything your child needs to build along, live.

  • Five hands-on projects

    Materials for five aeromodelling and rocketry builds, from a static display model to flying models.

  • Course book and manuals

    A full-colour course book with step-by-step assembly manuals your child keeps.

  • Tools and supplies

    Balsa, foam, propellers, sandpaper, a metal ruler and the small parts each build needs.

  • Learning dashboard

    Progress, materials and assessments in one place for your child, and a view for you.

“Who made this?” “I did.”
The moment every parent remembers: the model on the shelf that your child built.

The 30-hour journey

From first build to final project

Classes run live online outside school hours, on weekends or weekday evenings. Timings are confirmed with the founding batch, and every session is recorded.

  1. 01
