FYI, One of the original designers of the Q1 (Gene Sheehan) is currently signed up to compete with an electric powered version of the Quickie in the NASA sponsored Green Flight Challenge. $1.5 million dollar prize! The contest is a flight efficiency competition for aircraft that can average at least 100 mph on a 200-mile flight while achieving greater than 200 passenger miles per gallon.

Looks like fun.
