Team Aft-Burner-Reverser has applied motion-sensing technology from a games console to an aircraft guidance system for use when taxiing. The model uses infra-red and visual information to warn the pilot and ground crew of high-risk obstacles. This is designed to reduce the turnaround time of aircraft between flights and the cost of damage, saving airlines millions per year.

Sketch of the team’s idea

Zhuoqun outlines their determination to succeed, saying that “We will not falter and will not fail. In the following days, we will make the best of the opportunity and share our passion for aviation.” Team Aft Burner Reverser’s Airbus Mentor Emilie Granger describes them as “a very enthusiastic team".
