Jean_Hurtado_1999.jpg (100035 bytes)

Jean Hurtado brought another wonderful creation to Weymouth Speed Week 1999. This machine arrived atop a Renault Twingo.

At last! Speed Week 2001 and Jean Hurtado's machine shows a short burst of speed.  The design is based on the ideas of the English inventor and designer Percy Pilcher who lived from 1866 to 1899. In 1895 Pilcher was the first person in Great Britain to pilot a heavier than air aircraft.
