The project goal was to bring the engine output to 1200 hp, implying a very favourable hp/litre ratio of over forty.

The project earned a total of $128,029.00, exceeding the project goal by more than $28,000.

This helped another project goal, to recover a suitable and datable chunk of tholeiitic lava, which appeared to be rare on the seamount.

However, all three were found lacking in overall performance and handling during the test flights, showing that the aircraft designers had failed in reaching the project goal.
