	Rutan VariEze
		Rutan was eager to use N7EZ to explore further the performance of the canard layout.
		Rutan redesigned the canard, as well, and employed a new airfoil for this wing that aerodynamics specialists had developed at the University of Glasgow.
		Rutan surveyed the builders in April 1978 and discovered that the average, finished airplane was 14-23 kg (30-50 lb) heavier than specified in the plans.

	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.

	Rutan VariEze Kit
		Rutan's VariViggen bears more than an accidental resemblance to a Swedish military jet fighter, the SAAB J-37 Viggen, which first appeared during a press preview in 1965 and helped to inspire Rutan to create a canard airplane of his own design.
		Ironically, Rutan selected a less complex and less expensive variation of this 'composite' construction method to build the first VariEze because it allowed him to change the airframe quickly.
		Rutan decided to redesign the rear wing to incorporate ailerons but to keep the elevator control in the canard.

	Rutan VariEze at AllExperts
		The Rutan VariEze is a composite, canard aircraft designed by Burt Rutan.
		The Varieze is notable for popularizing the canard configuration and moldless composite construction for homebuilt aircraft.
		Three months later, it was shown at Oshkosh, where Dick Rutan piloted it to an under 500 kg class distance record of 1638 miles.

	Rutan VariEze
		The VariEze is a fairly high-performance homebuilt, hundreds of which have been constructed.
		The first prototype, N7EZ, was shown at Oshkosh in 1975, where Dick Rutan piloted it to an under 500 kg class distance record of 1638 miles.
		Rutan's stated goals for the design included reduced susceptibility to departure/spin and efficient long range cruise; these goals were achieved.

		Rutan’s prototype VariEze also demonstrated tremendous efficiency, achieving 70 miles per gallon with two people aboard at a cruising speed of 135 mph.
		Burt Rutan pushed the imagination of what was possible in aircraft design and performance and brought it to the homebuilder.
		Rutan’s new design was one of the first aircraft to fly with the Whitcomb Winglets.

	Rutan VariEze Prototype
		Rutan was already well known among experimental aircraft enthusiasts for his VariViggen—a two-place homebuilt design based loosely on the Saab 37 Viggen jet fighter.
		Rutan originally intended to use N7EZ only as a research aircraft for testing canard designs and configurations.
		Rutan and his company, Scaled Composites, came to worldwide attention in 1986 when his Voyager aircraft completed the first non-stop, non-refueled flight around the world.

	Sun 'N Fun
		The Model 31 Varieze is another very successful Burt Rutan design, with his signature canard pusher.
		One of the foremost selling points of the Varieze is its ease and speed of construction, when compared to some of the other homebuilts, some of which, for the average homebuilder, have taken as long as 10 to 14 years to build.
		In 1977, builders were equipping their newly constructed Varieze's with 0-200 engines as our example has.

		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.
		The layout almost qualifies the aircraft as a biplane with tremendous negative stagger between the upper and lower wings.
		Rutan envisioned powering the Quickie with an Onan industrial generator engine that developed 22 horsepower but many builders found this motor too weak.

	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.
		In April 1982, Burt Rutan founded Scaled Composites, Inc. (Scaled) to develop research aircraft.
		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.

	EZ Squadron
		Steve is a veteren of Bahama flying having made the trip in his Varieze many times and say's it's easier now due to rule changes for experimentals.
		This gathering is for all canards and especially Varieze since the first flight of the Varieze prototype was thirty years ago this May. It is looking more and more likely that Oshkosh will be the location especially with the announcement that SpaceShipOne and Wight Knight will be on display.
		All canard flyers are invited to the Varieze 30th anniversary gathering.

		My EXPERIMENTAL aircraft is a modified Burt Rutan designed Varieze (very easy).
		The Varieze is a very light (263 kg / 580 lb empty, MTOW 530 kg / 1100 lb) two seat aircraft providing efficient cross country travel.
		By late 1983, over 4,300 VariEzes and the larger Long-EZ's had been built or were under construction in the USA and other countries including Australia.

		Here is a generic VariEze, with the 100 HP Continental O-200 and a modern panel.
		The VariEze is one which does not have all 8 views...
		This is because (a) many folks who are building and flying these planes are spending their money on their airplane, and not on their computer, so files need to be kept small and fast, and (b) with the VariEze's full canopy and narrow fuselage, there isn't much airplane there in views out the sides.

		After flying only Cessnas primarily, with only about 2 hours in the back seat of a canard type, it's basically like learning to fly a single seat airplane.

		Just weeks before the historic second flight of SpaceShipOne - a trip that won him the $10 million X Prize - Burt Rutan, the ship's designer and builder, sat down for a chat with Wired.
		For nearly half a century, the government has held a monopoly on manned space exploration.

		Aircraft designer Burt Rutan, whose most recent design achievements include the civilian spacecraft SpaceShipOne and the around-the-world Global Flyer, is credited with popularizing canard designs 30 years ago with his VariViggen and VariEze fiberglass aircraft.
		All canard aircraft owners are invited to register for the May 13 fly-by by e-mailing Skip Barchfield at jmr4@awesomenet.net.
		In addition, a ceremony honoring the 30th anniversary of the Rutan VariEze design will be held immediately following the fly-by, hosted by Bob Guthrie, San Antonio radio legend and aviation enthusiast.

		What I was able to find out is that this aircraft is manufactured in France by Weber.
		The aircraft is based on the concept of the VariEze (made and idealized by Burt Rutan) and was upgraded to the Acroez for acrobatics use.
		I hope this is the correct info, but I could be wrong!!
