Nasa is seeking help from coders to speed up the software it uses to design experimental aircraft.
It is running a competition that will share $55,000 (£42,000) between the top two people who can make its FUN3D software run up to 10,000 times faster.
The FUN3D code is used to model how air flows around simulated aircraft in a supercomputer.
The sensitive nature of the code means the competition is only open to US citizens who are over 18.
One for the programmers!

ps extra points if you can identify the aircraft, without the internet.
