Looks a bit like a one-engined Skymaster...why not just start buying up old Skymasters?

plans to produce a low-cost

I’ll bet that is relative. PT-6 turbine, if it is under 10 mil I’ll be surprised and that ain’t cheap, excuse me “low-cost”, in anyone’s world.

...and no I haven’t yet read the article.

I see a lot of "Bronco" DNA in this thing, especially the higher seat for the 2nd officer.

Some observations.

* Airfoil looks like a Laminar Section, with the double tadpole trailing edge top and bottom.
* Wonder about airflow into the Prop, love to see the CFD runs on it.
* Notice the Flower Flaps. Having them in front of the Prop inboard of the Tail Pylons is a design option not chosen or modified on many a Pusher given it effects "the go around" with flaps down and more.
* Why no Hoerner Wing Tips, they were tried on the Bronco and work on higher wing loading wings well of which I think this is higher than we might imagine...
* Love to see them Clean-up the Gear Legs and Brake area and leave the Gear Fixed.
