Abstract
Sandwiched in-between November rainstorms, a crew of Rockwell engineers successfully launched and flew the UCLA-Rockwell Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) during tests on Nov. 19 at El Mirage Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert. The battery powered, 40-foot-wing-span craft was released from its remote launch vehicle and flew perfectly for about three minutes at around 100 feet altitude, while jubilant engineers chased the aircraft around across the dry lake in a convertible.
