I was there and couldn’t get close enough to even hear him. This is great! Thanks

On my wish list is the concept of having a conversation with Burt Rutan to ponder the feasibility of designing a scaled T38 with a single JT15D-4B engine (2, 500 lbs of thrust, used in the Citation II). The military version has been produced years ago (but still in use) in the SIAI Marchetti SF211. The Marchetti performs well but I truly believe this match in a scaled T38 would perform much better and be aesthetically viable in the market. This would have to be heavy in the composite spectrum which would support a healthy pressurization system.

Burt is incapable of illogical thought. I love his EV analysis.

Oh great to see Bert again at Oshkosh last time I saw him I was with my dad. It’s now past and he was saying that he wanted to do fly by wire and that aluminum and no place in airplanes you could hear a pin drop when he said he had no place in Airport that was in the 90s.

Ehhh, I was absolutely certain that Burt Rutan died years back and his brother recently. Strange.
He has done some interesting designs over the years but at times made them strange just for the sake of it like 2 or 3 hulls. I prefer actual merit to a design. The simple truth is that a conventional small light teardrop shaped pressurized plane with two small turbofan engines at the back is better than any of his GA designs. By quite a margin.

???? Pointless post. Sorry to be a poop, but truly no idea what he is saying!
