Title: Thrust Weigh Drag Lift (Desert Assembly)
Description: Thrust Weight Drag Lift involved creating a 1:1 scale model airplane by scanning a 1:16 scale balsa model kit and resizing the parts using an overhead projector and homemade registration scales in order to reverse engineer the full-sized airplane that the model was based on.
The airplane was built at Bread and Salt Gallery in San Diego, then disassembled and taken to the desert, where it was reassembled over the course of two days before its test flight.
