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.  If you want to hear more about GoFly’s aviation event, let us know in the comments, and we can cover the results when they’re determined.
