Welcome
to the home page of the infamous and completely unknown
" Mad Rocket Scientists".
Who are these madmen you ask ???
Well, for starters, w
e are a small, non-commercial group of aviation enthusiast
and rocket builders that believe in making our dreams come true.
With a unique combination of persistence, dedication and dumb luck , we strive to make better
( flying )mouse traps.
Frightening as it may sound, most of the guys work in the US Space Program, and
most are actually degreed
rocket engineers. (Note: there really is no such thing as a rocket
scientist) For
the most part, however, we are what we do, and we do build airplanes, rockets and the occasional
particle beam weapon.............. :_)
Currently, the team is finishing up work on a composite, tandem wing
experimental aircraft design / fabrication project. Our goal for the
past few years has been to create the preeminent " next generation " tandem wing
aircraft. To this end, we designed, built and are flight testing our prototype
aircraft : Eos Raptor
This site and all it contains is totally
experimental. We are in no way sanctioned, condoned, or even acknowledged
by
any serious aviation groups or organizations like the EAA, FAA, Viking
Aircraft, or Slipstream Inc. Please note that we are in no way associated
or in contact with the legal owners of the DragonFly aircraft design. If you are looking for the legal
owners of the Dragonfly Aircraft Design, you may get
information about them by <<

Representatives
of Slipstream
Inc. should be able to answer any of your factory related questions.
Legal plans,
parts, etc. are available only from the factory. Please take the time to visit this resource site and investigate
the benefits of official factory support.
Please Note: The Dragonfly factory has
officially separated themselves from all "scratch builders" as of
March 2001. They do not support or endorse the plans built community in
any way. This has had far less affect on the plans building
community than you might
imagine. We, of course, were disowned long before that.
