	Vehicles - Experimental Aircraft - Advanced
		Most of the aircraft built at home are built by one or two people over a long period of time for fun and recreation.
		The aircraft used by the military and commercial airlines must be built more quickly and pass much higher standards of flight and endurance.
		This is to be expected in the field of experimental aircraft.

	Experimental aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Experimental aircraft is also a specific term referring to an aircraft flown with an experimental category airworthiness certificate.
		Aircraft produced by certified aircraft manufacturers will go through an extensive period of testing to prove that they are airworthy.
		Homebuilt aircraft are built from materials in one of four categories: rag and tube, metal, wood, or composite materials (fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc.).

	'Experimental' aircraft push the envelope - Tomorrow's Wright Brothers - MSNBC.com
		The designation was originally intended for aircraft designers who wanted to do research or for home tinkerers who could learn about aerodynamics as they built their own contraptions.
		The growth in experimental airplanes was partly the result of a huge slowdown in the commercial small-aircraft market. By the early 1980s, production of general-aviation airplanes all but ground to a halt as liability concerns grew and new plane development became prohibitively expensive.
		All these efforts are meant to balance the FAA rules on amateur-built aircraft, which require the owner to build at least 51 percent of their plane themselves, with a desire to get airborne without spending half a decade in the workshop.

	UTILITY-AIRCRAFT certification experimental
		Aircraft have to be registered or you can call it immatriculated what gets them a nationality, a call-sign and a owner.
		Basic requirements are the same for all and is related to the status of experimental aircraft.
		Some aircraft never saw a phase 1 because they are fairly normal aircraft or they came into the country by air.

	Experimental Aircraft in the Media (by Jeremy Zawodny)
		The experimental classification means the plane wasn't built in an aircraft factory, said John Grub, vice president of the Carson City chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association.
		Many 'experimental' aircraft were in fact built in factories, just not American factories and not factories with enough of an American market that they wanted to go through the hoops for certification.
		Now, drag management is always a trade-off between aircraft handling (often negatively affected when increasing amount of linear airflow over the wing), economics (choice of tools and materials, and cost of manufacture), and ergonomics (size of the cockpit and seating position).

	Judging Vintage Aircraft
		To reward those who maintain and restore vintage aircraft to high standards, the Vintage Aircraft Association has set forth requirements for the classification for aircraft that will be judged at Fly-Ins.
		An aircraft with proof of construction by the original manufacturer, or its licensee, which has received periodic maintenance, repair, recover, and/or replacement of parts, but which has never been completely disassembled and rebuilt or remanufactured to new or better-than-new condition.
		An aircraft with proof of construction by the original manufacturer, or its licensee, that has been disassembled into its component parts which were then either replaced, refurbished, or remanufactured to new or better-than-new condition.

	X-Planes
		While prototype and experimental aircraft were not new, the X-planes were significant because they were solely intended to develop technology in general, not lead to operational aircraft.
		Unlike the earlier aircraft, it was not rocket-powered or dropped from the belly of a bomber, but instead took off from the ground like a conventional aircraft with jet engines.
		The Skystreaks were turpojet powered aircraft that took off from the ground under their own power and had straight wings and tails.

	Frequently Asked Questions about Home-built Aircraft
		A. Yes, an experimental aircraft certificated under FAR 21.191(g) (amateur-built) has, as one of its operating limitations, the requirement to hold a valid category and class certificate.
		The exemption allows a two place aircraft to be flown under ultralight part 103 rules, only for the purpose of providing training to ultralight pilots.
		Usually (always) there is a line in there that says something to the affect of andquote This aircraft may not be flown after incorporating a major change as defined by 14 CFR part 21.93, unless you notify the FAA, and their response is received in writing.

		Experimental Aircraft is in the final stages of mixing their 3rd album, which looks to have about 15 tracks on it!
		The album was in the can, but troubles with the Austin space rock quartets former label, Devil in the Woods, caused delays and the follow-up to Experimental Aircrafts impressive 2000 debut sat on the shelf.
		How Experimental Aircraft delivers "Contemplative Silence" answers the question, "What would it sound like if George Harrison had ever played slide guitar with My Bloody Valentine?" One earful of the intro to "Seasick" and it's apparent Ex Air has found god.

		In an interview with an FAA inspector who viewed the aircraft after the accident, the pilot said that he had disassembled and reassembled the fuel pump while attempting to fit it to the aircraft during the construction process.
		The inspector reported that the aircraft impacted the ground in a near vertical nose down descent, and that the empennage was torsionally twisted.
		The owner of the aircraft could not provide specific performance or weight and balance information but stated the center of gravity tended to be "somewhat" forward with lighter weight in the cockpit.

	X-Planes Eperimental Aircraft - Military Aircraft
		Indeed, within an eight-month span in 1961, it became the first aircraft to exceed Mach 4, -5, and -6, and it later went on to become the first--and, so far, only--airplane to fly in near space as it soared to a peak altitude of more than 67 miles (354,200 feet).
		Until the 1970s, experimental planes (designated "X"-planes for "experimental") were the chief research tools for flight regimes that wind tunnels, simulators and production aircraft could not approach.
		These aircraft included: a range of vertical takeoff and horizontal landing vehicles; smaller, propeller-driven reconnaissance vehicles; and a series of unmanned missile testbeds of both single and multistage designs.

	Rutan Aircraft Designs
		The legendary designer of this “aircraft of the future,” known as the Beech Model 2000 Starship, was the unconventional Elbert L. "Burt" Rutan.
		Rutan's most expensive project, the Beech Starship was just one in a series of experimental and unique aircraft designs that are his trademark.
		In 1972, he joined Bede Aircraft as its director of development at the Bede Test Center in Newton, Kansas, noted for fiberglass V-tail kit airplanes, such as the BD-5, and the BD-5J “pocket rocket” mini-jet aircraft, made famous in a 1983 James Bond movie.
