  • 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.
