Artifact Overview

This sketch of the Edison2 was drawn freehand in a coffee shop; it might appear hasty, but its creator is an aerodynamics engineer -- an expert in stealth aircraft technology with decades of wind tunnel experience. While the next steps involved computer-aided design, rough explorations like this were crucial to the development -- and final shape -- of the Edison2.
