In the 1990’s, West Coast entrepreneur William Shaw and renowned aeronautical engineer and aircraft designer Martin Hollmann, developed the three-wing design called Discovery. The advanced carbon composite construction of the new Discovery is both strong and light. The interior provides unparalleled room and comfort for 2 plus a spacious baggage compartment. Originally designed as near 200 mph speedster, the Discovery has the uniquely docile handling characteristics that will qualify it for the new Light Sport Aircraft category (with factory speed reduction modifications).


	The Discovery engineering team has used the advantages of the three wing surface design to develop an airplane that is sure to be a leader in both the high end experimental and the new LSA categories. “Three wing surface designs”, offer the best features of both conventional and canard winged airplanes. The high horizontal tail surface of the Discovery has more efficient pitch control throughout the flight envelope and particularly at slower speeds. The small canard wing offers spectacular trim control and the added safety advantage of slow speed stall resistance.
