Work done by Mark Maughmers students at Penn State. John Bird and Jack Langellan earned an OSTIV diploma for their paper to the 2012 Congress which I believe started this line of work.

John presented at the SSA Convention in Greenville on autonomous Soaring. I was bummed that it was during the same time as my talk so I missed it.

Cool stuff! Maybe we should get them to sniff for us at contests.
