This here aircraft enter new age Robot Air Battlespace (RAB) to support hunter/killer global arms industry Robot Flying Monkeys (RFMs). Mr. Lockspeiser's now - - Fifty-Five - - year old concept lower costing light-weight utility cargo what-ever aeroplane was to far too ahead of its time. Not anymore pilgrims.

I researched and worked how the early 1970s LDA design fills my rice-bowel - "Enhancing" - RAB art-of-war age. RAB age that will be advanced with AI driven and managed - Evils - is now a given to pay Lucifer's Gods-of-war butcher's bill and do so - On - The - Cheap - till the End-of-days. Think "Sky Net".

Be afraid, be very afraid humans for the New York vampire squids are out to seek out maximum investment returns in which to - PROFIT - from the new age weaponized AI robot hunter/killing what-ever robot machines. Robot machines vehicles doing so - ON - THE - CHEAP!

Two photographs are in the 1971 december issue of Popular Science Magazine. Shows breakdown of major parts.

Land Development Aircraft
Role Experimental utility transport
Manufacturer Lockspeiser
Designed by David Lockspeiser
First flight 24 August 1971
Status Destroyed, cancelled from register.
Number built 1
The Lockspeiser LDA-01 (Land Development Aircraft) was a British seven-tenths scale research and development aircraft, which was designed and built by David Lockspeiser to prove a concept for a low-cost utility transport.

The LDA-01 was a single-seat canard monoplane, fabric covered with metal construction. It had a canard foreplane which was the same size as each mainplane. The wing was mounted at the rear-end of the box structure fuselage which was fitted with a four wheeled landing gear. It was designed to be fitted with a detachable payload container to allow easy conversion between roles, and was powered by a rear-mounted pusher engine. The LDA-01 G-AVOR first flew on 24 August 1971 at Wisley in Surrey, under the power of a 85 hp (63 kW) Continental C85 piston engine, but was later refitted with a more powerful Lycoming O-320 engine. The aircraft (which by this time had been re-registered G-UTIL) was cancelled from the aircraft register as destroyed in 1987.[1] [2]
