As far as we know this is only the second time since 1918 that seven of these aircraft have been seen in the air together at one time (the first time was in 2007).”

Burt reveals details about the BiPod
“Burt Rutan took the lid off his latest project, the BiPod, at a homebuilders chat this morning, and it looks different than images released last week by Scaled Composites, Burt’s former company that owns the design. The first images of the BiPod included CAD drawings with four propellers—one on each wing and two on the horizontal stabilizer between the tails of the twin-fuselage, hybrid-electric roadable aircraft.”
