Amazing... P.T. Barnum was right.

Of course I want one, but really... I'd also like an anti-gravity suit, so I could just fly like a bird, and a pill that I could take once a day, eat and drink all I want, and weight 185#.

"We're able to do this in Brazil where the labor is cheaper."

Velocity tried getting their wings made in Brazil to save money.

It did NOT work out very well.

And I like how they "compare" their aircraft to Van's, Velocity, Evolution and Cirrus. Every plane listed is flying... except theirs. :lol:

What a difference between "My design will revolutionize aviation!"
and a quote in this month's issue of EAA's Sport Aviation.

Bearhawk is coming out with a larger version of their already successful design:
"Once it's built, then I'll fly it and see if we've got anything good or not."

I messaged this guy and he called me back. He's a Cirrus owner and chiropractor that wanted a faster plane and decided to team up with this manufacturer.
He's a bit...... different.

If I win the mega power millions ball, I'm going to waste money on an aviation company.

The holding company will be: Small Fortune, LLC

The name of the airplane company will be: Adequate Aviation, LLC

The airplanes will underperform all other entrants in their respective categories.

The entire design will be focused on east of manufacturing with an aim to mass produce the airplanes at greater than demand

The maintenance manuals will reference AC 43.13-1B as much as possible and encourage OPP.

If you don't need to worry about engine cooling (including intercoolers for 35,000' operation at 75% power), and "pressurization" means pressure masks, or of course RVSM, maybe it works.
