Probably more if he did the actual math.

They won't. There useing outher companies desines. They will end up in lawsuits.

MR JFLYER Too bad. I always look forward to someone new and small when it comes to airplanes.

@@ckryegrass11 I think it's a right off company doing stuff for Oshkosh , but it inspires people to go out there and try and start their own aircraft companies.

To the"Jflyer" dude: There's always one of you. Seriously. Every video on KZfaq has one viewer who says stuff that is totally without any basis in truth and the comments always look like they were typed by a 3rd grader. This is a totally original design. Glad you're interested in the company. Keep watching. It's going to be a good show.

@@colin6848 ok

Jeff's interview will be up tomorrow.

You should be able to tell from my past work prior to Raptor that success is driven by good design and experience. The Voodoo is a 24 year old design of mine finally being developed. It inspired my Orion, a larger derivative of the Voodoo platform, which was described as the " best " flying canard ever flown by an ex-navy test pilot, one of the most notable in our industry who had flown all other canard types prior to flying my Orion/ Phoenix design. I was also responsible in the Velocity redesign exercize that resulted in the then new Velocity XL design. I have other successful designs that were put into the air. The Raptor , though it was stated I was to direct its development( not the cars in reality) is no design of mine. John has one successful original flight proven design under his belt also( the Darling) , so as a team we have " been there, done that, got the T-shirt" a few times over collectively. If only the naysaying trolls could make a similar claim. And none of our designs are copied from anyone else's. Sure the Aurora looks similar to an Avanti, but an EXPERIENCED designer knows it is not as simple as shrinking a larger airplane format and having it turn out successful, there are numerous considerations that have to be taken into account in design that most uninitiated folks are even aware of. How about all you folks out there showing us some of your aircraft designs and prototypes. Would love to see them. Jeff

@@devinkerlo2666 Sorry Jeff this is not at all what i was trying to say. The planes you have designed all look great. Period. I was just seeing you work on the Raptor and then on this new to me project and couldn't help but notice that they are very opposite in terms of complexity and i imagine that working on something more simple after working on something quite complex must be a nice change. And no i have never designed a plane in my life, just like 99% of commenters here i assume.

Jan, forgive me if it sounded as though I was singling you out in this reply, That was not the case at all, I appreciate your kind words. It was more intended for those armchair critics who endeavor to tear apart and criticize, many times with no experience or factual , accurate, derogatory claims or criticisms. The types that don't have neither the skill, drive , or ambition to rise out of the Lazy Boy recliner or step away from their weapon of choice( computer keyboard) and actually accomplish something of merit. Its all good tween you and I , brother.😀😀. And the Raptor is the Raptor , all I can say !!!

@@devinkerlo2666 Thanks Jeff, appreciate your reply. All good for me, no worries.
