"One design aircraft"

Can anyone shed any light on this aircraft? I just read an article about it and found it to be quite interesting. Has anyone built one or in the process? very curious about this one. Thanks for your time. Take care.

Yep - I believe it was flown by Wonder Woman in the early 50's. It's made of an invisible compound.

HTH,

Now, Vic, that's not nice! The fellow had a serious question there :-) .

I don't know anything really, but I thought the One Design was supposed to be an inexpensive monoplane designed to be competitive up to Unlimited. Also, I believe there was a thought that there could be contests run using just One Design types, to provide a level playing field for the competitors.

Here are a few links that might be helpful:
home.hiwaay.net/~gyork/index.htm

www.airbum.com/pireps/PirepOneDesign.html

Hope this helps!

Tom P.

LOL!
Talk about egg on my face<g>. Was looking for a link to a name or a picture and thought he forgot. Right AFTER I uploaded my response I took a closer look at the title and remembered I'd heard the name One Design before.

Keyboard fingers in gear before brain was running.

Glad you had a real answer for him!
