Synergy Aircraft Prototype Construction Update - March 2012

The fascinating and radical design of John McGinnis' Synergy  (photo: facebook)


 The prototype 5-seat Synergy aircraft is making some great progress as can be seen in the recent posting of 92 new images on John's facebook page. John, along with members of his family and a grass-roots team are having the experience-of-a-lifetime knocking down challenges and watching the airframe take shape as a result of their hard work.

 Synergy breaks new ground on several levels, including the very unique box wing/tail design, high efficiency pusher configuration (advanced design compared to typical pushers), advanced technology propeller design, use of V-4 turbo-diesel engine (DeltaHawk), and overall high attention to laminar flow.

 Projects like this are always extremely difficult to pin down when they will reach completion, but the good news is that they're making serious progress and are hitting important targets along the way. Keep watch of the resources at the links below for updates on the project:

Pretty slick concept. Looks like the spiroid winglet idea taken to the ultimate.

Outstanding John!

Really look forward to seeing a full scale prototype at Oshkosh this year.
