Editors' Take

We humans love reinventing the wheel, so who cares if the Wright Brothers already figured out how to fly? We're going to try again...and again...and again. And get badly bruised in the process.


The challenge: build a human-powered flying machine with your team, and attempt to fly from a 30-foot-high flight deck. Wright Brothers, anyone?

Gates open at 11 a.m. The first flight occurs at 1 p.m. Click the link above to see a list of teams and their stats.
Ends at 4 p.m.

    Funny to watch, but WAY too many people. Commercial overkill. Would have been better without all the corporate sponsorship plastered everywhere.
