HD - 1 Swift.

The result of bored stiff engineers asking “How big a jet engine can you strap to your ass?”  

 

No market research, no feasibility studies, no industry partnerships, no government handout, no union deals.  Just one criteria - "Build the darn thing."  And don't let management know!  Make it small and make it ridiculously fast.

This is the "Bombardier" HD - 1 Swift Experimental Jet for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. 

Designed for personal transportation, with just enough room for your briefcase, your MasterCard, and maybe - lip gloss.  Capable of supersonic high altitude performance, this aircraft shines laying down a sonic boom at tree top level!  Break all the rules...

Shift Manager - "Sam, have you found those missing parts yet"

Stock Room Worker -  "Sorry, Can't find them."

Shift Manager turns to Junior Engineer -

Junior Engineer - "Don't ask me, I don't know where they could be."  

Shift Manager - "It's almost like someone has a home built aircraft of the go."

The V-tail glider.  This is a new project in the very early stages of development.   I've used the cockpit from the swift, replacing that jet with a long fuselage and V-tail,  new wings and a single retracting wheel.  It already glides nicely but there are a number of issues as well as the model to complete.
