Weber State Has What??

I have a bit of skepticism with this because up to now none of these craft have performed very well at all. Something like automobiles in the early years.

Weber State University students built the remote-controlled craft over two years beginning in 2008. WSU professor of computer and electronics engineering Bill Clapp tells the Standard-Examiner of Ogden that the 6-by-10-foot craft has a seven-horsepower lift motor and a 23-horsepower motor to propel it.

The reason this was started was to provide the military with less expensive drone targets. One does not need an engineering degree to make the determination that seven HP is not going to lift much at all. They say they've tested it at Bonneville and the Army is helping.

That's all real special but with no pictures or video my money says they have a very long road to travel before they get to where they think they are going.

My bet this thing doesn't get more than 6" off the ground.
