What about transporting the egg within the chicken? Or is that cheating ...

Knowing that there are some folks here looking for things to do in
classrooms, I thought I'd pass on a new version of the great egg race.

"Airbus is challenging students in UK schools to build a model aircraft
capable of transporting a hen's egg as far as possible on a playing field or
other grass expanse, and landing it intact."
Is this, I wonder, something cooked up by the egg marketing board?
Nice to see some engineering out there in school land.
