AIRBUS FLY YOUR IDEAS COMPETITION

Student contest focuses on digital solutions for aerospace

The sixth Fly Your Ideas competition invites innovators to propose and develop original ideas for the aerospace industry.

Open to university teams from across the world, including all disciplines from engineering and information technology to marketing and design, the competition is an opportunity to unleash their pioneering spirit, working at the cutting edge of digital technology alongside industry experts. Airbus is seeking ideas that could change aerospace in the decades to come and create a safer, cleaner and better-connected world.

As well as joining Airbus on site to further develop their ideas, up to six finalist teams will compete to share a prize fund of 45,000 Euros (RM211,500) and the chance to take their idea forward within the industry.

The 2019 competition asks teams to respond to one of the following challenges: Electrification; Data Services; Cyber Security; Internet of Things; Artificial Intelligence; and Mixed Reality.
