Canterbury Aerospace is the University of Canterbury club for all matters aeronautical and space. We organise and run workshops, social gatherings and several mailing lists as well as maintaining this Wiki site hosting information repositories on in-progress projects and documentation.
This site is a work in progress. We're in the process of migrating to a centralised wiki from several old MoinMoin instances. Please be patient!
