Flyers Recruiting Drexel Students to Build Flugtag Flying Machine

I was just forwarded this email from a professor of mine.

Good Morning Dr. ******** (edited for privacy reasons),

I work for the Philadelphia Flyers Marketing Department and we are planning to enter a self-propelled "flying machine" in the Red Bull Flugtag here in Philadelphia on September 4th. (http://www.redbullflugtagusa.com/Philadelphia2010)

Unfortunately, marketing does not lend well to designing something that will actually fly, so that is why I am contacting you.  We are wondering if you have a group of students that would be interested in designing and building a fairly simple flying device that would represent the Flyers well.  The craft would need to be completed in a relatively short amount of time as the event is just over a month away.

If you have a student or group of students that would be interested in undertaking this challenge and collaborating with the Flyers, could you please let me know.  Or, feel free to have them contact me directly.

I look forward to hearing back from you!

Being that I go to Drexel and am looking to be an aeronautical engineer, I may look into this. And if you were planning on going to the Flugtag in September, you will be glad to know that your Philadelphia Flyers will (rather might) be represented.
