All of the illustrations I can see appear to be just that: Illustrations. I have real trouble believing that they will be shipping an aircraft, even a hobbyist aircraft, without at least one honest-to-goodness picture of a prototype. (UPDATE: http://www.eaa.org/news/2011/2011-04-14_aero.asp http://www.eaa.org/news/2011/2011-04-14_aero.asp has a picture of a prototype that has not been flown yet). And manufacturing with carbon fibre is non-trivial. The bicycle industry is full of horror stories about design firms that outsourced the manufacturing and wound up (heh) shipping frames that cracked or split. It's a wonderful material, but it isn't a no-brainer. I would expect that having designed such a thing, they would need to build a succession of prototypes, followed by choosing a manufacturer very carefully, and then doing some prototypes with the manufacturer to iron out the issues involved when scaling up to production processes. So where are the pictures of the prototypes? And about what they call "Tech:" They. Must. Be. Joking. Where is the discussion of the airfoils chosen or how the hull is designed for takeoff from water? What's the maximum wave height this craft can deal with before you say "Too choppy, can't fly?" What's the takeoff speed? "Runway" distance required? Stalling speed? Where is the designer bragging and boasting about the unusual wing design and what problem it solves? This web site does NOT satisfy my sniff test.
