The Wittman Tailwind was designed by Steve Wittman as a fast, two-place cross country aircraft. Its small size enables it to cruise at 150 to 160 mph on 100 hp. Steve got a lot of experience as a racing pilot. The "fat" fuselage and straight lines should not confuse you, concerning the aircraft's performance. Steve knows where to streamline effectively (see also Sport Aviation July 1980, story of "Big X" The model shows Steve Wittman's own aircraft, as flown in the sixties and seventies. Plans of the Tailwind are offered to the homebuilder market. Dozens of Tailwinds are flying, which proves it to be a well designed aircraft, also one the average homebuilder can construct.
