“Every year thousands of planes and ships disappear from radar, and we are not able to detect them yet. I’m aiming to solve this problem with my plane crash detector project. I plan to promote my idea at the international level and raise awareness of this not so well-known problem at the global level. I hope I will be able to present the problem to the jury in such a way that they understand its depth,” Krishna Gupta, a participant from India, told about his project.
