GoFly Wants to Nurture Enthusiasm for Tech Innovation
Competitors must follow a small list of requirements
Tech innovation has defined humanity for a long time now. In today’s age, with communication and outreach available to nearly anyone, no matter where they are in the world, we are experiencing a tech craze.
GoFly wants to nurture that enthusiasm by creating a friendly competition open to any and all inventors, engineers, designers, and fellow enthusiasts to create the best personal flying vehicle with a prize pool of one million dollars.
The competitors must follow a small list of requirements with a lot of creativity and design left up to each team.
GoFly currently has eight hundred and fifty-five teams working across one hundred and three countries for a new golden age.
Soon, the winner will be determined in Phase Three
Phase One saw ten teams win a chance at that big one-million-dollar prize pool, with only half of those making it past Phase Two. Soon, the winner will be determined in Phase Three, with a five-way competition battling it out.
The final competition includes the FlyKart 2 from Trek Aerospace FK2, Inc., the Aria from Texas A&M Harmony, the Device: S1 from Silverwing Personal Flight, the Airboard 2.0 from DragonAir Aviation, and the ERA Aviabike from Aeroxo LV.
