(UPI) A team of researchers Wednesday unveiled an experimental aircraft designed to break the world record for human-powere- d flight and complete the mythical journey of Daedalus and his son Icarus "I think it's a pretty neat airplane." said John Langford, leader of the team of about 25 students, faculty and engineers who designed the craft at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge "People are real excited With a wingspan, the graphite. Mylar and foam craft resembles a huge, white dragonfly. While the aircraft has a wingspan about the same as a DC-- 9 jetliner, it weighs only about 85 pounds A pilot powers the craft while sitd capsule beting m a neath the wing and pedaling an propeller on the front of the plane. The craft has flown about 14 iest flights so far. the longest being only about 3.000 feet due to runway limitations. ' Weve done a inuial series of test flights here that went quite well." said Langford "We hope it will bo good enough to break the existing world record " Longer test flights will be made at Edwards Air Force Base.
