Today we are joined on the podcast by Burt Rutan!
Burt Rutan is perhaps the most famous aerospace engineer in the world known for his many, many innovative designs that have marveled people for decades. He is known for dozens of designs including the Voyager which is an extremely efficient airplane designed to circle the planet without stopping or refueling.
Burt takes a moment to fill us in on his current all consuming project the SkiGull which he shares many details with us that have not been shared before. Burt is hoping to have his new design finished in time to fly to EAA Airventure Oshkosh and display the plane.
Perhaps Burt's most famous design, SpaceShipOne and it's mothership White Knight are now going to be released to the public through Rutan RC. We encourage you to support the Kickstarter like we did!

FYI - I am sending you guys an email to show you my favorite place to camp at EAA if you can make it this year. I know you have FliteFest right before that but EAA is something you guys need to go to IMO.

Also, unfortunately I think this was easily the worst podcast you guys have done - just my opinion of course. Part of the reason is that Burt took forever to get to the point that he was trying to make but also the uncomfortable silences in there really stood out for me. It seemed like you guys were struggling to comment on what he was saying - you just replied with "awesome" all the time - and also didn't really pose many questions to him I thought.
Having said that, Burt was certainly interesting and I'm normally a big fan of both the regular FT and FT After Hours podcasts. I work in a remote area of Australia for a week at a time and can't wait to get back home each week to catch up on your show and podcasts.
