Coast to Coast Bioflight
Donation protected
I am Ross McCurdy, Science Teacher at Ponaganset High School in Rhode Island where I teach Science and Alternative Energy Classes. This Gofundme.com page will help raise the funds needed to achieve the Coast to Coast Bioflight. This will be a Coast to Coast flight from Rhode Island to Santa Monica, California using aviation biofuel made from renewable Camelina plant seed oil.
This will be the first Transcontinental flight using biofuel in a certified light aircraft and will promote renewable energy and sustainability through the excitment of aviation.
The benefits of this renewable aviation biofuel include lower emissions, made in America, and a significantly lower Carbon footprint. The goals of the Bioflight are to promote Aviation, Renewable Energy, and real world Science Education. We will be flying a single engine Cessna 182 equipped with an amazingly fuel efficient SMA aviation diesel able to run on the aviation biofuel. Improving energy efficiency and using renewable energy are two great ways to help protect and improve our environment.
Joining me on the Bioflight will be my 12 year old son Aedan McCurdy, who is very enthusiastic about flying and renewable energy. Fellow Paramus Flying Club member and friend Tomoharu Nishino will join us from Rhode Island to Dayton, Ohio and another pilot friend Thierry Saint Loup, with SMA Aviation Diesel Engines, will be flying with us from Texas to California. Along the way we look forward to meeting people and spreading the word about renewable energy. Our trip will include a visit to a Science and Technology school in Mesa, Arizona to talk with students about Aviation and Renewable Energy and Bioflight information will be shared through the www.bioplane.us website and social media. Of course the Bioflight will also be used to teach our students here at Ponaganset High School in Rhode Island.
The Coast to Coast Bioflight is scheduled to take off very soon, on Saturday April 16th 2016, the birthday of aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright. The funds will be used to cover the cost of flying the Cessna 182 Bioplane for the 5,000 mile round trip to California and back. This means a tremendous amount to me as years of work and thousands in personal expenses have gone into preparing for the Bioflight, and we are almost ready to take off. The aviation biofuel necessary to achieve the flight is now in place at the airports along the route and the Bioplane is ready. Now we need your support for the home stretch to help us achieve this milestone flight and demonstrate the power of renewable energy. Your help is deeply appreciated and I am immensely thankful for your support.
Thank You!
Sincerely, Ross McCurdy
