National Air and Space Museum (U.S.). Daedalus Human Powered Aircraft Project.
Biographical notes:
The Daedalus aircraft project was begun by a group of students and alumni of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology interested in the possibility of human-powered flight in 1985. The work was chiefly funded by United Technologies Corporation and Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Additional support was provided by the National Air and Space Museum and by M.I.T. In 1987 Steven Bussolari piloted the plane from Crete to Santorini (Thera), Greece, a distance of some 72 miles. The plane crashed on landing, and NASM acquired parts of the wreckage for its collections.
