RMIT student team takes on the world with liquid methane concept A STUDENT team from RMIT University has designed a concept for powering aircraft with liquid methane that has beaten hundreds of groups to make the finals of a global challenge. The RMIT Cryogenic Liquid Methane Aircraft team will travel to Toulouse in France next month to compete against teams from Brazil, India, Italy and Malaysia in the biennial Fly Your Ideas competition sponsored by Airbus. They will be interviewed by a panel of aviation experts to see if they can clinch the 30,000 ($39,090) first prize to be presented at UNESCO's headquarters in Paris on June 14.
