New ideas and design for Boeing

Hello Mam, I always had an idea of working for Boeing because of the history it had. I am doing my B.E. Mechanical Engineering in India. I have a doubt...... Will Boeing accept new ideas and new designs for constructing a new type of plane from an individual or a small group for people to travel with the design being completely different and innovative?

    The best way to get Boeing or any other aerospace company to notice your ideas is to enter a design contest sponsored by your school, companies, and government agencies. Organizations like AUVSI, AIAA, NASA and many other international agencies will sponsor such contests. Even if you do not win, innovative ideas will absolutely catch the attention of judges and sponsors and it is really common for students who participate in such contests to be offered internships - even if you live in another country!
