History

Blackstein built the Firefly-1 around the time the Pimber & Ton Timber Park opened. It was his attempt to apply what he knew of thrusters and high-altitude flight to a new generation of aircraft.

It carries two cannons, which retract on command to manage its weight. Its landing gear and forward boosters fold into the hull to improve its aerodynamics and protect their moving parts.
