probably to expensive not green enough for a university project unless they convert it to solar power

Looks like it was put together enough that they did testing. What's missing beside a huge check?

That wing concept is very intriguing, I would love to crawl around that thing and see what they did. I've spent the better part of the last three decades immersed in aviation autopilots and I would bet dialing in something like that would be relatively straight forward, a lot of time and fuel for sure. As mentioned earlier, it's all in the wallet!!

Yeah, that is sad! Amazing boat! I would like to see this get finished and see what it can do! Glad I got to see it in person.

It would be cheaper in a wind tunnel, in which you can score wind tunnel testing for a boat that size around $3000 an hour....

May be similar to the Spruce Goose.

So did anyone ever find out how much it is listed for?
