This is engineering and technology that exists today and will provide solutions for tomorrows air travel. It is simply amazing that this airplane will travel in excess of 300 mph, carry 6 full sized passengers with luggage, run on a 200 hp diesel engine and burn around 7 gph - now that is efficiency. It is being developed in a garage in Kalispell, Montana by 3 generations of the McGinnis family led by John McGinnis. You can go to synergyaircraft to learn more about this amazing aircraft and team of designers, engineers and craftsmen. This is a great example of "thinking outside of the box" and using and developing new technology and innovation - something that I am wanting for the students of Aviators By Design to do in their current work and their careers. John and his crew are really close to making this a reality. He has told me that he will not bring a concept to Oshkosh - he has seen too many concepts come and go. He will wait until he has a true working airplane that will demonstrate everything he claims before he does bring it to Oshkosh - next year might be that year - then there will be no nay-sayers!! Blue Skies!!
