Not sure if you guys and gals are following all the news on our Facebook page, so I decided to post some info on here.
We recently started a new Industrial Design project with a local university. The purpose of this, second project, is to explore some adaptive flight controls and assistive devices for disabled pilots. This will include a folding wheelchair and stowage in addition to the adaptive flight controls.
We are running this project in co-operation with a non-profit company that I am founding called 'The Adaptive Flight Foundation'. Apart from the (auto)gyro(copter/plane) project we are also researching an off-road paragliding wheelchair. This obviously to help disabled veterans and other folks enjoy the sport of paragliding.
BUT, our first collaborative project with this particular school has come to an end and everybody involved learned a great deal, and we ended up with some very cool ideas and new designs for Phenix gear.
I'll be posting some pictures over time. Feel free to ask questions, critique, lol and contribute with your own sketched and doodles.
