  • nice landing

  • @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?

  • Nice job!

  • attach a GOPRO to the plane

  • Oh m an, I bet everyone was shitting bricks when it was landing.

  • Impressive flight! Congratulations; all the hard work paid off!
