Happy Sunday! Thank you all so much for your questions and comments. Here are some answers for the more popular questions:

We will power the vehicle with an inline 3 cylinder, 1 liter, 70 HP, fuel injected, DOHC gas powered, liquid cooled automotive engine. The transmission will be either a 5-speed manual or automatic. The top speed is in excess of 100 MPH, and the 0-60 speed is under 9.6 sec...onds. The engine is in the front and it is a front wheel drive vehicle.

We will have 3 wheel disc brakes with ABS on 15" wheels. The suspension is independent, unequal length control arms, coil over spring and shock in the front and Mono shock with coil over spring and shock in the rear. The ground clearance is 5.75".

The body panels are made of composite which will be attached to a stiff body which will lead to a quiet cockpit experience.

The trunk space will be at least 27" x 14" x 10", enough for a airline carry on bag, and will be able to accommodate a golf bag with the rear seat down (47"+).

Heater, defrost, A/C, AM/FM radio, three airbags, seat belts, tempered glass, windshield wiper, are all standard equipment.

We will be providing some CAD renderings of the interior shortly. We want to make sure that what we send out is accurate to the final product, and the current mule doesn't have a production ready interior. Stay tuned.

The vehicle will be made in America, Shreveport LA is the location of the plant. We will be creating 1500 American jobs at the plant starting in the spring of 2014.

Not very aero dynamic..Ahhh yes I could see how the wings would buckle and fall off...He gave it a try and ran with it for awhile.  I like his little plot to get the military to buy in..GM

You'll notice Dr. Christmas didn't fly it. A WW1 vet did and lost his life in that contraption.

What was it that P.T. Barnum supposedly said?

i want one!

The way I read the story, a total of two pilots were killed in two different Christmas designs.

After killing two people with his lack of engineering know how he had the audacity of trying to raise money to build another death trap.
It takes a certain kind of person to do stuff like that.

yeah I had that idea too..Think one of the guys was a army flyer and the other a daring young man.You didn't think he was gonna fly it..Look at it.

I don't remember, but I think W.C. Fields once said: "Never give a sucker and even break!"
