With support from NASA, the international GoAERO Prize competition recently announced funding for 14 U.S. university teams to build innovative new compact emergency response aircraft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The teams will develop prototype versions of Emergency Response Flyers, aircraft intended to perform rescue and response missions after disasters and in crisis situations. The flyers must be designed to deliver a first responder, evacuate victims, provide emergency medical supplies, and aid in humanitarian efforts. Teams will bring their test aircraft to a fly-off expected in 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese awards will provide students with an opportunity that might have otherwise been difficult \u2013 a chance to design and build potentially lifesaving aircraft,\u201d said Koushik Datta, University Innovation Project manager in NASA\u2019s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. \u201cAt NASA, we\u2019re looking forward to seeing how these young innovators can contribute to our mission to advance futuristic aviation technologies that can benefit first responders and the public.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With support from NASA\u2019s University Innovation Project, GoAERO named 14 awardee teams at the following universities:\u00a0<\/h3>\n
