    Funding for a lot of our research comes from doing TV commercials 20 miles up. Here's some pics from one we did for KLM Airlines.

    High Altitude propeller testing on Away 22. To give you an idea of scale, the propeller is six feet tip to tip. This flight was back in 2003. We tested the propeller at 80,000 feet and it worked great.

    While doing serious research you need to have fun too. If you look to the upper right side of the vehicle you can see Lego X-wing & Tie fighters. We mounted them on wires attached to a servo. They chased each other from launch to landing.
