The irruption of crowdsourcing, as a strategy to develop ideas open to citizens, has reached the aerospace sector. It is Fly Your Ideas; an Airbus proposal aimed at young people all over the world<\/strong>. Through this programme, the company provides a unique opportunity for students to deploy their pioneering spirit and innovate for the future of the industry.<\/p>\n This initiative, which has been supported by UNESCO since 2012, is a biennial competition in which classroom learning and research are applied to solve real-world challenges. Since 2008, more than 20,000 students from more than 700 universities<\/strong> in more than 100 countries around the world have signed up to participate in Fly Your Ideas, and more than 500 Airbus employees have contributed their expertise and mentoring to the competition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n –Electrification<\/strong>: How can we fly farther, longer and cleaner using integrated electrical power systems?\n\n
\n \n Ideas flow in the following fields:<\/h4>\n
\n–Data services<\/strong>: What innovative applications and services can be created based on Airbus data?
\n–Cyber security<\/strong>: How can we identify travellers safely and without interruption while minimising the impact on passengers and on airport and airline security?
\n–The Internet of Things<\/strong>: How can this revolutionize the passenger experience or improve collaboration in the aerospace industry?
\n–Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>: In the future of aerospace or industrial manufacturing, how can we use AI to identify completely new opportunities or business models?
\n–Mixed reality<\/strong>: How can the aerospace industry put Apple’s mixed reality applications and Google’s mass market to work?<\/td>\n
