@AtlantisEnergy All of the participating students have graduated, but the some graduate students have continued with the testing of this aircraft. UW has a new capstone project each year, this years project is to build a scale version high aspect ratio transport that is similar in size to this aircraft. It cost ~10000 USD in materials, ~100,000 USD in donated wind tunnel time, CFD processor time, and computer programs and ~9500 student man-hours. It got up to about 125 mph in later testing.

Where does the project stand at this point?
How much did it cost to build?
What was the speed achieved by the model?
