Illinois Aerospace Institute Launch 7/14/2006 - Page 2

CIA helps the University of Illinois Aerospace Engineering department with the rocketry portion of the Illinois Aerospace Institute summer program for high school kids every year. We help them launch the boost gliders and egglofters that they build earlier in the week, and we fly a few of our own for demonstration and fun.

CIA-Rocketry > A large canard glider. We all figured this thing would disintegrate into little scraps of balsa on the first flight, but it actually survived to fly four times that day (although one wing did fold up on the third flight, it was quickly fixed). Photo by Robert Brunner
