find, Pete Lynn, the son, wrote the linked piece, his working name is Pete,
to distinguish from his dad, although its signed "Peter S". The experiment
shown was assisted by Dave Culp, who gave me one of the left-over caged
flygens for my West Coast stash, maybe even the one in the photo. I met Pete
at Makani during a KiteShip visit & saw him again at HAWPCON09, where he
smiled as I flew a 3.5 m Peter Lynn parafoil next to Doug's Sky Serpent.
It was some of Pete's e-mails around 2003 on a physics forum that seem to
have triggered a lot of the current boom in research.
Peter Lynn, the dad, is a very active AWE thinker; the latest clue, besides
his great writings, is that TU Delft is flying a 50 sq m Peter Lynn Parafoil
(Drool). There is at least one other great dynasty in AWE,
Billy and Cory Roeseler. DaveS 22nov2010
