I have a set of Dyke Delta plans. Lots of great ideas in them and many I
thought of. Probably many thought of by others. A real race car fuel cell will
fit in that space and never leak. Ford now makes thousands of small light V-6s
that racers turbo up to 600 HP. Same for the BD-4. Add width, Add my method of
flap actuation, Add a stretch. Add a skylight. Add some headroom, Add span with
Deemer tips.
Perhaps a 3 rotor 20B engine. Conventional gear in a stronger box. Wheel
pants with the closing doors.
Burt Rutan did one for Jim Bede that held some FIA records. The BD-4C flys
like a dream. Construction and flight footage on Youtube..Jim also liked the
idea of a low wing BD-4.........Lynn E. Hanover I am only 74, so I have
lots of time.
