than one gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel per occupant – or the electrical equivalent. Whichever plane performed best would win its makers a prize of US$1.35 million. That was the idea behind the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/nasa-competition-green-challenge-air-travel/12427/" target="_blank">Green Flight Challenge</a>, a NASA competition that was managed by the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) Foundation, and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/google-sponsors-green-flight-challenge/19402/" target="_blank">funded by Google</a>. Well, the challenge wrapped up last week, with the winners being announced this Monday. Pennsylvania’s Pipistrel-USA team took first place, for its Taurus G4. <a href="/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/green-flight-challenge-winner/20060/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/f-35b-jsf-vertical-landing-at-sea/20051/">F-35B completes first vertical landing at sea</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/">Noel McKeegan</a></p> <p><em>19:27 October 4, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006115234im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/f-35b-jsf-vertical-landing-at-sea/20051/#comments">4 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006115234im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/f-35b-jsf-vertical-landing-at-sea/20051/picture/143970/">10 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/f-35b-jsf-vertical-landing-at-sea/20051/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006115234im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/f-35b-vertical-landing-at-sea.jpg" title="An F-35B Lightning II makes the first vertical landing on a flight deck at sea (Photo: U.S..." alt="An F-35B Lightning II makes the first vertical landing on a flight deck at sea (Photo: U.S..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>The F-35B Joint Strike Fighter (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/f35-fighter/" target="_blank">JSF</a>) has successfully made its first at-sea vertical landing.

Three project proposals have been selected for these missions, which should be launching in 2015 and 2016. One of those projects, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006115234/http://www.gizmag.com/nasa-laser-communications-relay-demonstration/19946/" target="_blank">Laser Communications Relay Demonstration</a>, we've told you about already.
