Not a project, but a one off manned glider. I don't believe the designer is known for any other aircraft designs (I will double check that), but he did have an involvement in other aerospace projects.

Edit to say pilot sat under the wing.

Edit 2, correction, the designer did have at least one other aircraft design to his name.
