The student team designed the vehicle as part of an aerospace design class. The vehicle, which resembles an airfoil in appearance, made its debut Aug. 18-22 in Minneapolis at the International Human Powered Vehicle Championships, where it placed third in two events. More than 30 teams from the United States, Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom participated. The rider is positioned backwards and lying down to allow for a more aerodynamic design and a simplified, efficient drive system. For more information, call Dave Miklosovic, team leader, at 292-5491.
