Light Sport Aircraft Control Systems, Landing Gear, and Folding Wings
David Brown, Brian Dahl, Dustin Jefferies
For the past few years the Messiah College Flying Club has been designing and building an LSA to provide an inexpensive alternative to currently available production aircraft. This two-seat airplane is designed for applications in remote locations. Our project’s focus was the dual control system, landing gear, and wing folding mechanism of the airplane.

Village Water Ozonization System
Ian Leslie, Gerald Mwangi
There is a critical need for clean water in parts of rural Honduras. The VWOS team has designed a simple, cost–effective ozone water purification system for installation and use in two villages in Honduras. Our project has involved designing and assembling a solar power source which will be used to run the purification systems.
