NASA Supersonic Airliner Design Competition for Students

A new NASA competition is challenging students in high school and college to research and describe a small, supersonic airliner that could enter commercial service in the next decade. Individuals and teams of high school students can enter the competition by submitting well-documented short papers describing what needs to be accomplished to make supersonic flight available to commercial passengers by 2020. The competition is sponsored by NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. Only U.S. citizens are eligible to receive the awards.
