Several Guidance test flights have been completed and the results are most promising.
As with our early tests about a model ship, the aircraft was brought under autonomous
control immediately after the autopilot was engaged.
Space Glider Project and the RAVAR project to be lead story in this Sundays edition of
the Raleigh News & Observer’s Sunday Journal. Journalist Martha Quillin has interviewed
with the team and has written a large article on the building progress and possibilities of
the RAVAR project. Last week News and Observer Photographer Chuck Liddy spent the
morning photographing one of our test flights.
