This project is a proposal developed based on a request from Rob Miller of Speed Aircraft Corporation (https://speedaircraft.com/) for a design of a light airplane suitable for business and pleasure flights, as well as capable of doing some aerobatics. With two occupants onboard, routine operations also implied carrying a set of golf clubs and two standard suitcases.
