So there's an old PDF floating around in here of a Bruce charmichael article on a laminar aircraft design.

I still want to build a high speed single place commuter craft. Basic design goal being get from a->b quick as possible, with fairly docile handling.

And I still like these pod and boom pushers for no good reason.

What are the gotchas with this layout? Did he ever get farther beyond the initial sketches?
