Back in the olden days when AeroStar was at Santa Maria, CA, Ted Smith had renderings on the wall of the jet powered AeroStar. It was always intended to evolve into a jet.Ted Smith's jet powered 'Star, called the Shooting Star, had the engines pylon mounted just forward of the tail. I always wondered about the C.G. in that configuration and although not as elegant, this current idea with under wing mounted engines does retain the airplane's natural C.G. and geometry.I was thrilled to see the video of it flying. Thanks, Nico.Keith S. GordonWing Commander Gordon

I wonder what Ron Smith would have to say about this?

Hi Stan/Keith,
Was this the one that Morris did a presentation on a couple of Flyins ago - sorry Keith a trick question for you...but Morris was upbeat about the design.
Cheers from Oz
