Subject: 125th Anniversary Challenge Unmanned Aerial Systems - Electric VTOL
Air Vehicles

Description:
Dear Terrapin Community:

Remember the UMD Gamera? Some people said a human could not stay in the air
for 60 seconds using only human power, but we proved them wrong…

Remember the Sikorsky X2? They said a high speed helicopter was an oxymoron!

Remember the UMD Hyperloop? No one expected the University of Maryland
UMDLoop team to do so well. Now the State of Maryland is boring a tunnel to
create the first Hyperloop rail line in the United States.

Remember the e-Volo first all electric, manned multi-copter? They said, what
good is that?

Want to do something new?

Want to do something remarkable?

Want to make a flying magic carpet?

Or a high speed electric helicopter that can walk?

Want to play?

Remarkable: Something extraordinary. Sensational.

Best,
Darryll
