	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Burt Rutan
		Rutan struck out on his own in June of 1974 with the creation of the Rutan Aircraft Factory in the Mojave Desert, where he designed and developed prototypes for a number of aircraft, mostly homebuilt.
		The Rutan Defiant is a four-seat, twin-engine aircraft with one propeller in front and one in the rear.
		Burt Rutan's designs are characterized by the use of lightweight composite materials, innovation, which is akin to the transition in aircraft construction from wood and fabric to metal.

	Rutan Aircraft Designs
		Rutan's most expensive project, the Beech Starship was just one in a series of experimental and unique aircraft designs that are his trademark.
		Rutan's creative vision led to the formation of his own Rutan Aircraft Factory in 1974 to design and market innovative canard designs for home-built light aircraft such as the VariEze and the Long-EZ.
		Burt Rutan expanded his successful experiments with composite materials to larger-scale projects with the formation of Scaled Composites, Inc., in 1982, for the design, fabrication, and flight testing of prototype aircraft projects for both the government and private industry.

	Quickie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A quickie is a sex act as involved as normal sexual intercourse and thus "quicker" than normal sex.
		A couple may choose to "have a quickie" because they do not have time for what they would consider normal sex, they are too tired to engage in what they consider normal sex, or because they feel it is more spontaneous and "fun" than normal sex.
		Quickies may also be used by a couple in a situation or area where it may be dangerous or embarrassing to be caught having sex such as a couple having sex in a public place.

		Highly efficient, and of composite construction, the Quickie is a typically radical Rutan aircraft.
		The Quickie Q2 has a 64 horsepower (48 kW) Volkswagen engine and seats two side by side, while the Q200 (also seating two) is faster than the Q2 with a 105 horsepower (78 kW) Continental O-200 engine and uses a different airfoil for the canard.

	Burt Rutan
		Burt Rutan is a test pilot and aircraft designer whose designs have caught attention for their exceptional performance and novel construction.
		Rutan's knowledge of high performance planes was garnered first hand in the Air Force where, from 1965 to 1972, he was Flight Test Pilot Engineer at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
		Rutan has received a number of awards for his work including the Chrysler Award for Innovation in Design, "Engineer of the Year" by Design News, the British Gold Medal for Aeronautics, the Collier Trophy, the Presidential Citizen's Medal (presented by Ronald Reagan in 1986), and the 2000 Lindbergh Award by the Lindbergh Foundation.

		Burt Rutan (Rutan VariEze and Voyager, see NASM collection) assisted Jewett and Sheehan in the design work and the first Quickie was finished, tested in flight, and ready for a public introduction by April 1978.
		he Quickie is a single-place, single-engined aircraft fitted with a canard approximately equal in area to the main wing.
		Rutan envisioned powering the Quickie with an Onan industrial generator engine that developed 22 horsepower but many builders found this motor too weak.

		This 50% scale model of the Rutan Quickie kit plane that is occasionally seen at airports around the country is powered by a Zenoah G-62 turning a 22" 2 blade prop.
		Spanning 110" and a length of 114", not only is this plane unusual but it is also extremely large.
		The Quickie was totally scratch built and a super job was done in the construction of it.

		The AMSOIL Racer, also known as the AMSOIL/Rutan Racer and the Rutan Model 68 Racer, was a race bi-plane that was designed by Burt Rutan's Rutan Aircraft Factory, and built and flown by Dan Mortensen.
		The concept which led to the AMSOIL Racer began in 1979 when race pilot Dan Mortensen approached Burt Rutan about designing an aircraft that would beat the Beck-Mahoney Sorceress, owned by Don Beck and which was dominating the competition at the time.
		Like the Model 54 Quickie sport biplane that previously designed, the Model 68 (as Rutan designated it) was configured with a canard wing, a main wing and, unlike the Quickie, had additional horizontal flight surface in the form of a T-tail.

		The Quickie was a successful aircraft, but it never measured up to the claims made in the brochure (an Air Progress article of the time trumpeted: "125mph, 100mpg, 400 man-hours-- Rutan's done it again!").
		It was square-sided like the Quickie, was powered by a 64 hp VW type engine called the Revmaster and was touted to be in the 175- mph cruise range.
		Like the Quickie, the Q-2 had the comparatively thicker GU canard, which for some pilot/builders exhibited pitch down changes and loss of speed/altitude in rain or heavy bugs on the leading edge.

		A Quickie Q2 at the 2003 Arlington EAA Fly-In.
		One of the dozens of unconventional aircraft penned by Rutan for the general aviation market, the original Quickie is Model 54 in Rutan’s design series.
		Appearing at first glance to be a modified biplane or canard design, the Quickie is in fact a tandem wing aircraft; both the front and rear wings are full airfoils.

		Elbert L. "Burt" Rutan (born June 17, 1943) is an aircraft designer known for designing light, strong, unusual-looking, energy-efficient aircraft.
		Rutan is married to his fourth wife, Tonya Rutan.
		Over the years Burt Rutan has designed hundreds of aircraft, including the now-famous Voyager, which was piloted by his brother Dick in 1986 on a recordbreaking nine-day non-stop flight around the world.

	Burt Rutan and the Ultimate Solo - Popular Mechanics
		In 1986, Rutan and copilot Jeana Yeager (no relation to Chuck Yeager) had circled the globe in Voyager, a spindly winged, prop-driven craft designed by Rutan's younger brother Burt.
		For nine days and nights, Rutan and Yeager battled turbulence, storms, fatigue and a malfunctioning fuel system to complete a heroic flight that earned the pilots a medal from President Reagan, and the Voyager a place in the Smithsonian Institution 500 ft. from the Spirit of St. Louis.
		And, Rutan added, he knew just the man to design and build the plane for such an ambitious mission: his brother Burt, who would go on to great acclaim as the winner of the $10 million Ansari X Prize for the first successful suborbital private spaceship.

		By the latter half of the decade this track of innovation had lead to one design for a popular home built fully-enclosed fiberglass airplane which flew using just 18 horsepower.
		The plane, the Burt Rutan-designed Quickie, also cruised at 120 miles per hour and had a range of 550 miles.
		Rutan's efficient designs were just getting started when the Quickie debuted in the late 1970s.

		The current mark was set in 1986 in another Rutan creation called Voyager, piloted by his brother, Dick, and fellow aviator Jeanna Yeager.
		The technology Rutan uses in his vehicle has been built on and developed over many years in the US, says Professor Karagozian.
		Of course, Rutan is not the only one working on low-cost space travel concepts but no one else is quite as far along in terms of their overall space tourism viability.

	About Rutan Aircraft Factory, Inc.
		Then, in June 1974 Burt Rutan left his job at Bede Test Center, moved his family to Mojave, California and started Rutan Aircraft Factory (RAF) in order to develop a non-conventional research aircraft he had designed while still in college-the VariViggen.
		Through this company, the VariViggen, VariEze, NASA AD-1, Quickie, Defiant, Long-EZ, Grizzly, scaled NGT trainer, Solitaire, Catbird, the Boomerang and the world-flight Voyager aircraft were developed.
		While aircraft plans are no longer available to the public, RAF will continue to support, for some limited time, the individuals who have already purchased plans and are in the building process.

		Such liberties will not be allowed on a Quickie and the resulting very small wheels on the original will translate to tiny in a model using fanfold I fear.
		Unless the model were to be made of a very large scale, they will certainly be tiny.

		He would jump into anything with wings that would have him - from scenic rides in the local FBO's Cessna 172 - paid for with scraped-together paper route money - to a Piper Tripacer whose fuselage was so rotted that the back door popped open on every landing.
		Shortly after that he started spinning borrowed wrenches on any kind of plane that anyone would let him near - from a derelict Cherokee 140, to a pre-war Cub restoration project, to an 18 horsepower Rutan Quickie.
		He completed his private license in December of 1986 while also attending the University of Lowell College of Music as a performance major.
