    NASA uses Flatline Regulator in Test Aircraft

    AO,

    We just found out that NASA used our Flatline regulator in an experimental aircraft with inflatable wings. The idea was to drop this remotely piloted vehicle out of a larger airplane and have the rolled up wings inflate into position. They were succesfull in doing so and our reg got published in the results. Below is the link to the pdf for those of you willing to download the 3 meg file. If anyone can cut out the pics and post them that would be great.

              Hey that is cool!

              now the only question is how to work their costs

              toilet seat: our cost 15 bucks ... nasa cost $15,000

              Flatline reg: our cost approx $300 ... nasa cost ?

              hehehehe

              Now that Tom is the second richest man in the US I think its time for him to buy out brass eagle and burn it to the ground. (Tom you bring the chainsaw and Ill bring the beer)

                                                  I find it amazing that the wings don't get ripped off during the flight. Especially since they are deployed after the aircraft is dropped from another.

                                                  I wonder if this may one day lead to secondary wings on commercial aircraft that would be deployed mid flight to allow them to glide for long distances.

                                                  Anyway, it's good to see that the superior workmanship of AGD products is being appreciated by people who should have an eye for such things.

                                                      Not just here on Earth - imagine the possibilities with dropping one of these bad boys on Mars - you may actually get it landed and keep the payload in tact.

                                                      And then there's the military. It's endless
