That is awesome! i woulduh never have dreamed to see a jet turbine engine on the rear of an ultra-light fixed wing aircraft. Would love to hear it while airborn than all the interview yacking. . . . .that coulduh come later! Thanks for sharing this video!!!
Tiny wheels, interesting they are effectively large enough for even grass field. Makes you wonder how minimal wheels for runways could be. Small diameter wheel is also easier to drive with an electric motor for push out and taxi. The Mitchell wing here is probably a bit too low speed to benefit from a jet, even a turbofan :)
A word I've NEVER used and hope I never do again....epic!

So this is from 1996? Are either (the Mitchell Wing, or jet engine) companies still in business? Any of this still available?
Link to Mitchell Wing is in the video. The gentleman in the interview now owns the company.
Horten Brothers be proud
