The aircraft was developed in order to compete at the next NASA challenge, called CAFE Green Flight Challenge 2011. This year, the competition prize pool amounts to $ 1.65 million dollars.

The aircraft was first presented to the public at the Oshkosh Airventure in July this year. According to the informal vote by the visitors, it was the 9th most attractive aircraft on display among 15,000 exhibited airplanes. Each year, the EAA awards a virtual "Dead Grass Award" prize (for the most viewed exhibit) to the ten aircraft with most votes.
