Three Indian aerospace‐engineering students’ ambitious plan to help create an aircraft of the future has taken them to the finals of a global competition floated by aircraft manufacturer Airbus and Unesco. The team from SRM University, Chennai ‐ consisting of Mr Balakrishnan Solaraju Murali, Mr Michael Thomas and Mrs Anita Mohil ‐ is among the five teams that have made it to the finals of the ‘Fly Your Ideas’ contest that saw 6,000 students from 618 teams and 82 countries vie for the 30,000 top prize. The other four teams are from Australia, Brazil, Italy and Malaysia. Ideas floated by students included planes powered by body heat, luggage floating on a bed of air and an aircraft running on liquid methane.
