Can a vehicle be built which can go directly downwind, faster than the wind (DDWFTTW), powered only by the wind, steady state? Thin Air Designs, in collaboration with the San Jose State University Aero department, along with generous corporate sponsors intend to definitively answer this question. Follow our quest.
It appears we should have ordered our DDWFTTW cart from an online Chinese hobby shop -- our buddy Tim built an entire airplane this evening in the time it took us to install just one prop hub collar.
