Today represents the pinnacle in the test phase of the Turbine Toucan. Our very last systems tests were an overwhelming success. We developed a proprietary oil system designed to help prolong vertical flight. The system performed flawlessly today. We simulated oil pressure loss and the system took over and provided oil at the exact same oil pressure. The system worked transparently, the engine never knew the difference.

This represents the last of the system testing and we are now going to explore the vertical, as soon as next week. We are so darn excited that the system worked just as it was designed to, how rewarding is that!

We also took the time to go out and take some new photos. Kind of a hazy day because of a 50,000-acre fire just south of us but still fun photos to share. We’ll post them later this evening. We plane on photos next week around San Francisco if the weather behaves.

Check out the Multi Media page for new photos soon!
