OK, Paul & any of you aviation buffs - what's up with the canard? The fairing or nacelle for the canard looks damn close to an emergency exit ?????

Cheers

Saw this at Rennsport this year. Don't know it it's a Europe-only model, a one-off special, or ??? It was about the size of a Ford Transit. Fit and finish were on par with any production vehicle. And before you ask, the flyers in the windshield didn't pertain to the van.

It's not a canard. It's an engine pylon.

Emergency exit becomes irrelevant as it would not be being used for passenger service while in experimental R&D configuration.
