Is the suicide door accounted for by the fact that this is a test aircraft(i.e., pilot may need to bail in a hurry)? I think we should all be cheerleaders for anything aviation instead of denigrating anything that's not a bonanza. The Bonanza was not universally accepted at first either.

Would probably look cooler in a military paint scheme. At least that held defend the ugly factor. I think it's beautiful. Don't like the doors hinged that way though.

On a pressurized airplane (and this plane had better be pressurized), the doors are far more substantial. There really isn't the incidental door popping open in that case. So in actual service, the rear hinge line will likely not be an issue. The real practical issue is that the door will get away from the pilot on windy days since turbines are parked into the wind. A good snubber or catch would be a good idea. Mike C.
