Roland Cernat won the first prize at this year's Lucky Strike Junior Designer Award for his final-year project "Oriens", a sustainable and energy-saving motor glider. Based on the cradle to cradle principles, Cernat's design combines sustainable materials with an ecological energy concept including solar panels on the wings and body that create enough energy to power the motor. Don't worry, he included a back up fuel engine if needed. Cernat graduated from the University of Applied Sciences Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany this year and currently works as a freelancer.
