34. COMPOSITE MATERIALS INTRODUCTION he use of composite materials in home built aircraft construction got its start back in 1970 when Ken Rand introduced his KR 1 and KR 2 kits At CM the same time a young designer named Burt Rutan was completing the design of his VariViggen which was awarded the Stan Dzik trophy for design contribution at Oshkosh in 1972 Although this aircraft featured some composite construction materials it was fairly labor intensive to build and interest was modest Taking the canard design concept a step further and simplifying construction through the use of the moldless composite technique Burt educated thousands of builders and future designers through his plans construction manuals and many seminars and convinced aircraft enthusiasts worldwide that composites were indeed the future for aviation construction Rutan Aircraft Factory followed the tremendous success of the VariEze kit program with plans for new designs such as the Long EZ Defiant and Solitaire At the same time SCALED Burt s new company specializing in design and prototype construction was busy building proof of concept aircraft such as the AD 1 Grizzly and Beech Starship Burt continues to operate SCALED today and remains active in designing and building the aircraft of tomorrow We hope he will someday return to the homebuilt aircraft market and arena that allowed him endless freedom to pursue aircraft design innovation D uring the 1980 s many ne
