The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) this week named teams from Peachtree City, Georgia’s McIntosh High School, and Washington D.C.’s Gonzaga College High School as winners of its Aviation Design Challenge.

More than 80 high school teams from 38 states participated in this year’s challenge.
