  • All very nice. But what is the performance and payload capability?

  • What a spectacular craft. Like everyone else here, I am absolutely drooling at the prospect of it as a private plane. But I am also just happy that someone has not only built a Horten design, but is enjoying it and flying it -- it would be a real pity for something that nice to end up in a museum. It belongs in the air.

  • how can I build this plane? I am in Canada and would love to learn of patent acquisition or fee for plans? what are the specification speed?fuel consumption? engine?

  • I am still very interested in this wing. Could you please get in touch with me tonyhughes thanks.

  • Very nice video of a famous wing design. The music seems familiar, but I cannot recall the name of the tune.

  • @Heathh49008 Sorry about the redundancy... Youtube needs and "Edit" option.

  • It would seem to be faster and simpler to build than a Long EZ....

    The tough part would seem to be making sure the wing is shaped correctly, and getting the weight and balance correct. Can this be built with an IO-360 and carbon composite and simply scaled up a bit into a higher speed 4 place with higher speed? That would be interesting!

  • @douglasfairweather - Look up "Design Patent D-143,853" , you can request free copies from the US Patent Office...

  • I thought this was a kit under development,but it seems to have never been finished or something.I like it,with a ballistic chute,it would be very safe
