Last week, we asked AVweb readers what they thought of the
quarter-million-dollar prize NASA put up in its recent Personal Air
Vehicle Challenge.
41% of the readers who took time to answer our poll thought the
amount was a bit excessive, given that none of the contestants really pushed
the limits of innovation, but another 33% thought the prize may spur
bigger (and better) entries next year.

participated in this poll.)
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
With more and more pilots hanging up their aviator
goggles, there are plenty of efforts underway to attract a new
generation of people to flying. These days, it seems like everyone's pet
initiative doubles as a recruitment tool for young pilots — but which
holds the most promise for getting more young people into aviation?
