Toulouse: A bunch of bright young people have put their own spin on innovations and technologies that can offer solutions to deal with challenges in the aerospace sector. The ideas came up as part of Fly Your Ideas, a contest floated by Airbus, one of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers. Fly Your Ideas is Airbus' way of giving the younger generation a chance to come up with out-of-the-box ideas that could revolutionize the way the aviation industry works. "With the contest we look to create sustainable solutions for the future," says Vicky Runchie, project leader for the contest. "We have multiple objectives which include focused research and development, new business models, better traffic management, meeting tough emission targets, protecting nature and nurturing future talent. The main idea being to reach out and connect with young talent," she adds. The teams selected this year include: India (Team Avas from SRM University, Chennai ), Italy (Team Flybrid, Technical University of Milan), Brazil (Team Levar, University of Sao Paulo), Australia (Team CLiMA, Royal Melbourne Institute of Milan Italy) and Malaysia (Team Embarker, Universiti Putra Malaysia), who headed to Toulouse in France for the finals where they presented their ideas before a jury of six at the Airbus A380 final assembly line.
