ha ha, maybe they pieced it together like a leggo. But
seriously, I have built a database of every image and article
on that bird, including 2 videos of it in flight.
There are numerous reviews from several reputable
sources, and the company also produces a small plane
similar to a little cessna.
The test pilot is an experienced airman from the
military, with an extensive track record.
All indications are, it *will* hit 200 kts, and a cruise
of 120kts is a comfortable rate, using a pittance of
gas.
Considering the alternatives, to get that kind of
performance in a composite plane,you're gonna pay
200 grand for a diamond star, 400k Cirrus SR series,
or 600K for the Lancair/Columbia/Cessna 400.
Heres my criteria:
1) Range- 1000 miles
2) Max speed- 200 kts minimum
3) Low wing profile
4) Modernistic technology
5) 2 leather seats
6) Low spin/stall speed
I just like the way it looks. It takes the concept
of the "Bedee" minijet and brings it beyond the
unrealistic toy to possibly practical transportation.
Some have tagged it for military applications.
