Professor Ed Lesher designed Nomad and Teal and built them in the shop at the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. Ed taught in the Department of Aerospace Engineering from 1942 to 1985. When I was there, he taught Introduction to Aeronautics, Flight Testing and Airplane Design. I took all three classes as an undergraduate and was a teaching assistant for him in the design class when I was a graduate student.


Flying Teal he at one point Ed held seven Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) class is C-l.a records for speed and distance. After Ed's passing in 1998, Teal was donated to the EAA Airventure Museum. Nomad is on display in the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan.
