The GoAERO Prize competition focused on aerial emergency response on Tuesday gave its first round of financial awards, totaling $500,000, to 25 teams around the U.S and five other nations that are developing small aircraft prototypes to deliver emergency cargo or rescue people in disaster zones. The winning designs include concepts for cargo aircraft and others that would carry injured or sick people. The contest encourages a large degree of autonomous control up to no human operator aboard.
