Applications Deadline Extended Until October 30
if you think you've had a great
idea for the aviation industry, particularly as it relates to the
environment, but needed some help getting things off the ground, as
it were, read on. The Lindbergh Foundation is extending the
deadline for submissions of aviation-related grant applications
until October 30, 2009. Anyone conducting an
aviation/aerospace research project that balances technological
advancements with the preservation of our environment is encouraged
to apply. Lindbergh grants are given to individuals and they
are not required to be associated with a university, business, or a
non-profit. Those receiving grants will be notified in April
lst 2010, with funding in July 2010. These research grants,
in the amount of $10,580, may not be used for tuition.
In recent years, the Lindbergh Foundation has funded
aviation-environment projects that addressed such issues as:
increasing fuel efficiency through direct routing air traffic
technology, drag reduction research and the use of continuous
descent approaches; reducing noise pollution by using high
frequency sound waves from ultrasonic actuators; and encouraging
alternative energy solutions by making extended flight economical
and pollution free using electric propulsion.
Lindbergh Grants have become increasingly well known, supporting
innovative ideas at earlier stages of development and establishing
pilot projects that often subsequently receive extensive funding
from other sources. Since the first Lindbergh Grants were made in
1978, the Lindbergh Foundation has awarded nearly $3 million to 300
men and women around the world.
