CITRIS Aviation Prize Informational Session

The first CITRIS Aviation Prize in 2021 challenged student teams to design, develop and demonstrate a long-distance, fully autonomous flight with a small UAV, with the winning team successfully launching its demo flight in October 2022.

As transportation demands continue to evolve, CITRIS recognizes the development of advanced air mobility (AAM) as a revolutionary shift that will change the way people and goods move. From the rapid emergence of companies developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aerial taxis, to the growing use of drones for consumer deliveries and emergency response, AAM technology will have massive impacts on the ways we think about transportation.
