A political thriller that brings together cutting edge aerodynamic technology and the FAA politics of safety. Condor Composite Aircraft Company (CCAC), located in Roswell, New Mexico, has built an all-composite sixty-passenger regional jet that needs FAA certification. Condorium, CCAC's proprietary composite material used in the airplanes construction, exhibits some very unique properties that make it different from other composite materials. The battle begins when CCAC refuses to reveal the origin of Condorium, or any details about how it is formulated or manufactured, to the FAA during the certification process. Why won't CCAC reveal the composite's details? Where did the material come from? Some suspect foul play, others wonder if the famous Roswell aliens could somehow be involved.
