Default Homebuilt Question

I'm wonder how this would play

d. Gear is retractable.

e. Propulsion is "rather mysterious".

Now, how would this plane be certified?
No one else can fly it. *Much of the
technology is sealed beneath carbon
fiber. *No one knows how fast it goes.
It is homebuilt. *Builder is willing to
concede that it isn't lightsport.

Thanks.

It looks kinda like this, except no pusher prop,
or winglets. It has 11 control surfaces.

How do I certify it?
