1.  Team MoTIS conducted high altitude flight tests on the M35!

 The MoTIS flight crew put the M35 prototype through a rough day of test flying! The M35 prototype started her day on the run way at Willow Run airport in Ypsilanti Michigan at 6:35 A.M. Est and flew non-stop to Mexico. Over the Gulf of Mexico she started a series of complex maneuvers, data collecting trials, and airframe stress testing. The project test pilot Matt Magee stated that "Virtual aviation will never be the same now that the M35 is in the world!" The M35 prototype came out of the air at 7:25P.M. Est and landed back at Willow Run airport safe and sound!. Our test pilot had the M35 prototype in the air almost 13 hours. He refueled the aircraft at Tampa international airport and flew on to Willow Run for landing!
