NASA and the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) Foundation of Santa Rosa, Calif., will host the exposition from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. PDT, with an awards ceremony streamed on NASA Television at noon PDT.
The exposition follows the 2011 CAFE Green Flight Challenge, sponsored by Google, at the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa, Calif., Sept. 25 to Oct. 1.
The competition attracted 13 teams, led by American innovators. Three of those teams successfully completed aircraft and flight qualification requirements are competing for the prize purse. The teams will fly to prove they have the most fuel-efficient small aircraft in the world.
