Students win Dassault Aviation Prize

Two master’s students from the Faculty, Julius Weinmiller and Noel Weber, traveled to Paris last week as part of the Student Aerospace Challenge and received the Dassault Aviation Prize for their work on multi-objective optimization of suborbital flight trajectories.

The Student Aerospace Challenge is a European student competition, held every year, in which  teams work together to generate a project report and travel to Paris for a convention where they present their work to industry leaders and the other student teams. The Dassault Aviation Prize is awarded for outstanding performance of a project group for both the project report and presentation at the convention. In addition to the prize itself, students receiving the award are invited to visit a Dassault facility in France as VIP visitors and learn more about manufacturing and testing facilities at Dassault.
