Rutan Quickie, 1970s. Creator: Scaled Composites
Single engine, single seat, stagger wing, 16ft. 8in. span, 17ft. 4in. long, 4ft. high; white with blue trim. In 1974, Tom Jewett and Gene Sheehan decided to begin designing an airplane that would provide " more flying enjoyment for less money" than other homebuilt aircraft designs popular at that time. 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
