Default Paul MacCready: Flying on solar wings

http://www.aeronews.tv/?p=77

Paul MacCready - aircraft designer, environmentalist, and lifelong
lover of flight - talks about his long career. After his record-
breaking work on human-powered aircraft in the 1970s, with the
Gossamer Condor and Gossamer Albatross, MacCready's attention turned
to addressing a problem he calls "Nature vs. Humans." The result: a
pioneering electric car, refined alternative energy sources, and
(bringing his enthusiasms full circle) a breathtaking solar plane.
