I think you will find someone is "taking the mickey"!
Faradair's managing director Neil Cloughley gleaned inspiration for the BEHA design from an unmanned UAV with a rhomboid wing, which was developed by his father 30 years ago. Plans are for the airplane to be controllable remotely from the ground. Another source of inspiration for Cloughley was the De Havilland Dragon Rapide.
Faradair hopes to raise £20,000 through a Kickstarter campaign by December 25. So far, 19 backers have contributed £1,408. Depending on the level of contribution, Faradair is offering incentives such as plaques, bricks and branded shopping bags for those who pledge. The company plans to use the money raised in the Kickstarter campaign to move the BEHA from the initial design phase to the research and development phase.
