NASA AND FAA ANNOUNCE DESIGN COMPETITION WINNERS

     In an idea reminiscent of something in George Jetson's fleet,
a student team has designed an airplane that can double as a car,
to offer true door-to-door service.  NASA and the FAA today
recognized this and other university student teams for their
innovative designs by presenting the 1999-2000 National General
Aviation Design Competition awards at a ceremony at AirVenture
2000, the Experimental Aircraft Association*s Annual Convention
and Fly-In at Oshkosh, WI.
