The finalists put forth well thought out solutions, and we are all excited to hear more from them at the upcoming Forum.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023 Gateways to Blue Skies: Clean Aviation Energy finalist projects represent diversity across energy types, including metal, hydrogen, energy beaming, and nuclear.

Developing green technologies and designs are imperative to enable aircraft to fly safer, faster, cleaner, and quieter. Though the proportion of harmful global emissions due to aviation is low, increased air travel demand and dependence on fossil fuels has created a critical global issue that warrants the move toward new energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we push towards climate-friendly aviation, NASA is playing an integral role in developing clean energy solutions, and who better to engage with in that endeavor than the next generation of environmentally conscious, career-minded university students,\u201d said Andy Provenza, NASA aerospace research engineer and Blue Skies sponsor. \u201cIt is refreshing to see the ideas these young minds have brought to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eight finalist teams receive $6,000 stipends to facilitate full participation in the competition, including presenting their design concepts at the 2023 Blue Skies Forum in Cleveland, Ohio, in June, which will be livestreamed globally. Winning team members earn a chance to intern at one of NASA\u2019s Aeronautics centers in the 2023-24 academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2022 Gateways to Blue Skies competition is sponsored by <a
