The Real World Design Challenge is an aerospace and engineering design competition that empowers high school students with real world experiences that are required for success in real jobs and careers in the 21st century. The Challenge began in 2008 but this is the first year that Alabama has participated.This year’s engineering challenge was to design within the provided engineering software an efficient, low-carbon-emission and environmentally friendly personal light sport aircraft. The aircraft had to accommodate two team members and fly 200 miles in less than two hours at a cruise altitude of 1000 feet above ground level (AGL) minimum. It is said to be one of the most difficult challenges to date. Eight schools submitted final designs for judging: Fort Payne High School- Fort Payne; Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School - Montgomery; Virgil I. Grissom High School - Huntsville; Aviation Challenge, from the U.S. Space and Rocket Center - Huntsville; Booker T. Washington High School-Tuskegee; Bob Jones High School – Madison; North Jackson High School- Stevenson; and Austin High School – Decatur. Every participating school is able to keep the $1 million in professional engineering software that they received at no charge and are encouraged to participate again next year. Fort Payne High School will now move on to represent Alabama in the National Competition in Washington D.C. from April 20-23.EDITORS NOTE: Photograph attached of winning team, challenge coach and science teacher Jackie Jennings, Lt.
