Two new fly-by-wire business jets—the Gulfstream G650 and Embraer Legacy 500—were nominated for the 2014 Robert J. Collier Trophy, the National Aeronautic Association announced yesterday. For 103 years the Collier Trophy, awarded annually “for the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America,” has been the benchmark of aviation and aerospace achievement. Several business jets, including the Gulfstream GV, Cessna Citation X and Eclipse 500, have previously won the award. Also making the cut as nominees for the 2014 award were Alan Eustace and the StratEx Team; F-16 Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance Team; General Aviation Joint Steering Committee; Orion Exploration Flight Test-1; and Orion UAS Team. This year’s Collier Trophy selection committee will meet on March 11 in Arlington, Va., to select the winner, which will be announced that evening at the NAA Spring Awards Dinner. The formal presentation of the trophy will take place in early May at the Collier Dinner in Arlington, Va., the NAA said.
