Design Evolution and AnalysisDesign Evolution and Analysis

Total design overhaul…Total design overhaul… Our design changed mainly because Our design changed mainly because

we directed our focus from creatively we directed our focus from creatively thoughtful to practicalthoughtful to practical

We realized that although many We realized that although many other arrangements of balloons and other arrangements of balloons and propellers might theoretically work propellers might theoretically work exceedingly well, if we couldn’t build exceedingly well, if we couldn’t build it, it wouldn’t workit, it wouldn’t work
