On November 21, the CBC’s documentary channel will air When Dreams Take Flight, which follows UTIAS PhD candidate Todd Reichert (EngSci 0T5) and his team, as they construct and fly a human-powered ornithopter.

The U of T Engineering graduate students made aviation history in August 2011, when their ornithopter, “Snowbird,” became the first ever to achieve sustained flight.

Make sure to catch the documentary on November 21 at 9 pm ET. For more information on the documentary, visit the CBC website.
