kach22i your airplane is here

I just happened across this aircraft, and knew right away that it was just your thing. Don't ask me how.


The Facetmobile, and yes, it is a real airplane.

That glass looks sort of B2 bomber like.

I can't open the link, but I think Barnaby Wainfan built it...there was a indepth review of it years ago in EAA.

Not a stellar performer, but interesting, lifting body experiment.

Bet it would be a steambath in the summer but does look interesting.

Sure would not want to be inside that critter and in the air if the engine ever let go and started slinging parts or oil around the interior!

I saw this craft about ten years ago as published in "Kit Planes" magazine, it was the Oshkosh issue for that year.

I love that plane, would love it even more if it were a twin pusher or ducted fan.

Correct on the builder, the link appears to work. Here's the FAQ page:
