PITTSBURGH — “Inclined Plane,” a team of Westinghouse employees, finished in 10th place out of 36 teams in the Red Bull Flugtag competition Saturday at the EQT Pittsburgh Three Rivers Regatta.
The team included Jon Durfee of Adams Township and teammates Jeff Levy, Ben Holtzman, Jimmy Hennen and Mike Black.
The competition features homemade, self-propelled “aircraft” that five-member teams build and push off a 22-foot-high platform into water.
The team’s aircraft was modeled after the Duquesne Incline and the team members dressed up like characters from the movie “The Blues Brothers.”
