Burt Rutan
The Rutan Long EZ is a homebuilt aircraft known for its sleek canard layout and rear-mounted pusher propeller. While not designed for high-G aerobatics, it makes up for it with speed, stability, and a look that catches the audience's attention at every show.​
​
It was designed by Burt Rutan, a legendary aerospace engineer behind record-setting aircraft like Voyager, which flew nonstop around the world, and SpaceShipOne, the first civilian spacecraft. His groundbreaking work earned him a place on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world.​​
