A Georgia entrepreneur wants to return the Lazair ultralight to production, and with your help, Gene Yarbrough might just get it done.
ANN readers may recognize Gene's name from his reporting as a stringer during Oshkosh over the past several years. An aeronautical engineer, Gene has brought that expertise to ANN on topics ranging from high-tech engines to ultralights, which remains one of his passions. A company called Polyhelo is developing a Hexicopter that they claim offers unique features.

All of the functions can be controlled from a single mobile app, and that images and videos can be shared wirelessly at the touch of a button. Japan's space agency, JAXA, has set a target of landing an unmanned mission on the moon before the end of this decade, and analysts say if they are successful, it could have implications for the moon's commercial development.
