MIST DBF

To everyone who supported and rooted for us, we apologize for the disappointment and not living upto your expectations. Although we couldn't go all the way, we were able to progress this far only due to your sheer encouragement.

HeisenBird fell from the sky. But as Alfred once said, "Why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up." And we promise to use this bitter experience to guide us in the future.

Although the ending was not how we expected, we still had some cherishable moments. From participants to commentators everybody loved our aircraft name. We broke some of our own records: Proposal rank 18th worldwide, Design Report rank 17th worldwide, Passed Tech-Inspection on the first attempt (First time in MIST DBF history).

Also massive thanks to our sponsors for supporting our journey. Without them we wouldn’t have been able to come this far.

PS: All passengers and cargo were safe.
