 I've had the pleasure of knowing about the Synergy Aircraft project probably long before you knew about it. I've been excited at the possible revolution this unique aircraft has represented from the very first day I learned of the details over three years ago. The man behind the project, John McGinnis, is attempting to take the knowledge base of aerodynamics and move it into an extreme that it's never been to before. Will he actually take us all there? There's no way to know until the prototype flies and we see what it can really do, but if you watch this video captured at one of his forums at Oshkosh 2012, you'll begin to understand several of the methods his Synergy design uses that he believes will open up new levels of efficiency and performance. The brilliance of the concept becomes much easier to see as John explains what's going on with the design.

 Synergy represents more than just an attempt to revolutionize small aircraft design... it's everything that the homebuilt aircraft movement, which began in the 1950's, thrived thru the 1970's and continues yet today, is all about: innovation; big achievement on limited resources; the pursuit of excellence; and above all, the passion to build the best flying machine possible to put people into the sky. With the successful kickstarter.com campaign behind him, John and his small, dedicated crew are moving toward a future of flight that previously we've only been able to dream of.

 I'm very excited to see Synergy take us into the future of high performance flight!
