"Building and Flying a Two Person Homebuilt Airplane"
Building an actual airplane by an individual in their home seems almost impossibly complex, difficult and beyond reality. But it is very possible, and thousands have been built and are flying in the U.S and in other countries. Join in the process that one IEEE member went through to do exactly that and is flying his plane today. You will see how six aircraft kits produced in Oregon came together over a multi-year time span. And how sophisticated today's homebuilt aircraft electronic avionics have become.
