The full-size Facetmobile is a most unusual aircraft. It was designed and built by Barnaby and Lynne Wainfan of Long Beach, California, a husband-and-wife aeronautical engineering team that has long enjoyed flying wing concepts in model form.

The unusual craft, dubbed "Facetmobile," has an all-metal structure and is fabric covered. For simplicity, they designed it with no curves or bends in the structure-every-thing is straight lines. Power comes from a 50-horsepower Rotax 503DC two-stroke engine. The Facetmobile proved to be a fine performer and was even flown to the 1994 EAA Fly-In at Oshkosh,
