GOOD news for creative innovators! The Airbus “Fly Your Ideas” challenge is now open.
A global competition designed to encourage innovative thinkers to develop ideas that can shape the future of aviation and help enhance the sector’s eco-efficiency, the competition is open to college and university students from around the world.
You can be pursuing an undergraduate programme, a masters or a doctorate degree in any discipline, from engineering to marketing, business, science or philosophy to design.
Airbus is offering US$30,000 (RM137,532) to the team whose idea demonstrates the greatest short- or long-term potential to reduce the industry’s impact on the environment.
Competing teams will advance through different challenging rounds, which lead to a live final at the Le Bourget Airshow in Paris, in June next year.
The proposals can look at a wide range of topics including new materials, products and/or processes as well as aircraft performance, manufacturing and organisational and operational performance.
“The Fly Your Ideas competition gives students the opportunity to work with Airbus. Together we can share innovative ideas,” said its president and CEO Tom Enders.
“Airbus wants to encourage students to deliver responsible solutions.
“Through this competition, we hope to tap into new views and ideas, and incorporate them in the early stages of our long term technology work,” said Airbus executive vice-president (Engineering), Patrick Gavin.
