          Mark Petro-Roy, Matt Klodarska, Nicholas Rooney, Troy Giampietro, and Adam Paluszynski are working together to create a model of a plane that can vertically take off and land.  After lifting it off from the ground, its motors, that are placed on the ends of the wings, will rotate 90 degrees forward to fly like a plane.  It will be remote controlled and be able to fly in a large area.  The current plan of fabricating the plane is spanned out over a ten week time period.  In the three weeks, as the parts come in, we plan to design the plane body and the mechanism used to rotate the motors.  In weeks three through six we will be fabricating the plane, and from week six to week ten, we will be trouble shooting the plane to make sure it works properly.  The plane should be completely fabricated and ready to perform at a presentation at the end of the tenth week.
