If only it were a production plane
Jul. 29th, 2011 02:19 pmBurt Rutan's Boomerang, an asymmetrical twin engine that cruises at 250 MPH with an 1100 mile range. It would be so awesome to go to Phoenix in 2 hours! (not to mention not having to deal with the TSA) If either engine stalls during take-off, it doesn't make a difference to the flight profile. And you don't touch the rudders during take-off.
Sadly, it is a one-of-a-kind. I wonder what a poodle would think of flying? Probably have to crate it during take-off and landing.
