Scaled Composites M-309 CarbonAero

The A500 was developed from the M-309 CarbonAero technology demonstrator designed by Burt Rutan and built by Scaled Composites at the Mojave Airport. The "309" designation refers to this being Rutan's 309th aircraft design. The 309 first flew in March 2000, but the aircraft has since been gutted and was used as a static display outside the Adam Aircraft Industries headquarters. [6] In 2006 the 309 was loaned to the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum and is now on display outside.

Not much wing on that design. Must have been a brick with loss of power.
