Rubber Band Powered Aircraft?
Ok, it would not be practical for a family flyer - but is anyone currently
experimenting with a rubber band powered aircraft? Any websites regarding how much power is available, and for what duration? I found some information on rubber band powered aircraft in the 1800's, but few details. Seems like an ultralight ship ought to be able to get off the ground - and that is what flying is all about. Wonder what the distance record is for a rubber band powered aircraft? Someone must have done it, because in some of the old movies the pilot yells out "wind 'er up" just before takeoff. Colin
