  • First

    First
    Research begins at University of California, Berkely through out a $2.5billion contract.

  • Then

    Then
    The prototype with a single wing showed thrust forces on a test stand.

  • Next

    Next
    Fabrication was switched from folded stainless steel to carbon fiber.

  • After That

    After That
    500 microNewtons of lift from a single wing was demostrated on a test stand.

  • Finally

    Finally
    To current-Work concentrated on reducing weight, increasing actuator power density, increasing air frame strength, and improving wing control.
