伯特·鲁坦访谈录（Interview with Bert Rutan） Interview with Bert Rutan (2009-12-01, 15:57:37) The Smith Institute of the aerospace magazine published the article published an interview with Bert Rutan, the content is very instructive, special translation as follows, to share with you: Before Bert Rutans design for space ship No. 1 and Voyager, launched a revolution in the homemade aircraft world, the VariEze canard plane he designed in 1975. This composite material, made by step by step, made the plane as simple as a cake made from a recipe. In 1976, he began selling VariEze aircraft manufacturing drawings, and by 1985, he had sold more than 12000 sets of VariEze and its improved Long-EZ drawings. Q: what is the most important innovation of the EZ series? Stan: they all spontaneously prevent stalling. They do not need electronic components at all to prevent stalling, and at low speeds they will only stay there without stalling. This kind of aircraft that can automatically prevent stalling is not made by homemade aircraft or jacket aircraft, and VariEze is designed for personal use. VariEzes drawings came out just before the Austrian assembly flight in the summer of 1976, and it was a great success at once. It sold 100 sets the day it came out, which was great at the time. My wife and I will have a 3 meter X3 meter booth for our drawings at the annual convention, and 1/4 of our annual income was earned at the rally at the booth. It is time we work for a living. Now I shudder when I think about it. Q: what is the difference between the first VariEze made with that prototype? Stan: the two planes are very different. The first VariEze prototype is not just a variant of it larger and heavier, more spacious interior space, it is not the same as the engine - it is used in aircraft engines, and the prototype is used Volkswagen engine modification. So the VariEze is designed for the self, it is made in 1976. Its a bit confusing. I should give it another name. Q: How did the name Vari
