Successful maiden flight of PSU Zephyrus

The maiden flight of the PSU Zephyrus took place successfully at dawn on Monday, April 15, 2011 at the Mifflin County airport. Under the leadership of Prof. Mark Maughmer and Ms. Julia Cole, the "Sailplane Class" (AERSP 2/404H) has been pursuing for several years the design and development of a human-powered aircraft to compete for the Kremer International Sporting Aircraft Prize. First flight was of a radio-controlled version -- they will need to further explore the stability and handling characteristics prior to modifying the airplane for human-powered flight.  The students have done impressive and amazing work on a shoestring budget and with "non-optimal" space and facilities.
