Hasta La Ideas

For this upcoming summer, the midway point of my two years of graduate school, I’ll be working near Los Angeles at a company that is probably best known for designing and building the Gossamer Condor and the Gossamer Albatross (shown above). They are human-powered flight vehicles masterminded by the late, great Dr. Paul B. MacCready and made history by successfully completing a fully human-powered flight across the English Channel on June 12, 1979. They’re not doing human-powered flight anymore, but they are getting into some pretty amazing wind-power systems, solar vehicles (including solar flight vehicles), unmanned aerial systems, and electric vehicles and charging systems. Should be a good time!
