NASA has two new aeronautics competitions for young people to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists.
High school students are being challenged to put themselves 50 years into the future and describe how air transport systems have evolved. Entries are due by 15 March.
College students are asked to propose solutions for complex technical problems in hypersonic and supersonic flight subsonic fixed- and rotary-wing transports or Mars entry, descent and landing. Entries are due by 27 April. Students can enter individual categories or in teams. Prizes range from $1,000-5,000.
