A German sports plane featuring unconventional canard configuration, the Speed Canard achieved 295 km/h from its single engine. The 4.7-meter fuselage and 7.8-meter wing created an efficient aerodynamic platform, while 1,650-kilometer range extended utility. The 1980 introduction reflected innovative design thinking.
