Tonight at the ASME student section meeting we had a balloon airplane mini design challenge. There were many creative designs fielded in the 30 minutes or so that we had to come up with planes. Here are a few photos of the fun.
A double fuselage design with twin balloon propulsion modules.
In the lineup preparing for launch.
The first one made it at least five rows of chairs across the room!
Finishing touches on the Wright Flier. Orville is represented by the balloon.
