A gray airplane with canards and dual tail fins flies low above a runway, its shadow beneath it.
ARES was developed as a proof-of-concept for a Low-Cost Battlefield Attack Aircraft and made its first flight on February 16, 1990!

What’s your guess on how long it took from contract signature to first flight of Old School, the Firebird Demonstrator, on February 9, 2010? Would you believe that it was under 12 months?

Dash-1, a see-through UAV with visible internal structure flies against a blue sky.
Model 429 “Dash-1” made its first flight on February 6, 2020 – using a catapult launch to get it airborne! With a 9.5-foot wingspan, this #UAV was built to demonstrate a new construction technique.

The Messerschmitt ME 163 Komet was the best and worst fighter plane ever built. The world's only rocket-powered fighter, it would burn all its fuel in 7 minutes and turn into a tiny but fast and agile glider. It was also incredibly dangerous, using two deadly and explosive acids for fuel, in tanks located on either side of the pilot in the cockpit. The fighter took out far more of its own pilots than enemy planes. However, the few who did fly it and survived, universally praised its handling, speed and agility.

No too shabby for an amateur working on Fusion360 at home. Color photo and installation measurements from the manufacturer made for easier work building a digital mock-up. #3dprinting #aviationgeek #pietenpol #experimentalaircraft #scratchbuilder #avionics #MGLAvionics
It doesn't look like much presently, but this is the start of my panel design for my Pietenpol Air Camper. #pietenpol #experimentalaircraft #scratchbuilder
A white aircraft with long thin wings and a connected bronco tail flying over the desert.
Old School made its first flight on February 9, 2010!
Initially intended to be a UAV, Scaled designed an optionally-manned aircraft to quickly to get the aircraft to flight and start collecting test data!

The Ryan X-13 Vertijet grew from an in-house Ryan study to see if the Ryan FR-1 Fireball could be modified for vertical takeoff. This was expanded on by the US Navy who were interested in operating aircraft from submarines. In 1953, the US Air Force awarded Ryan a contract for the X-13. The first of two X-13s first flew on 10 December 1955. It was fitted with a temporary conventional undercarriage to enable it to take off horizontally and test flight characteristics. In flight transitions from horizontal to vertical and back again were made. The undercarriage was then replaced with one under the tail and vertical take offs were made. Once the feasibility of the vertical take off and change to horizontal flight was demonstrated, the X-13 was tested from its intended operational launch platform, a truck mounted vertical trailer. This also proved successful and the versatility of the X-13 was demonstrated by taking off, crossing the Potomac River and landing at the Pentagon. Despite the successful tests, the USAF did not have a requirement for such an aircraft and discontinued the tests on 30 September 1957.
