The Rutan Model 61 Long-EZ is a kit aircraft manufactured by Rutan Aircraft Factory.

Summary

The Rutan Model 61 Long-EZ is a high performance two-seat, single-engine canard aircraft designed by legendary aerospace engineer Burt Rutan that was offered exclusively as a homebuilt plan from 1980 to 1985. Rutan designed the Long-EZ based on his VariEZ, a popular canard design of the 1970s.

The distinctive Long-EZ has a small stabilizing foreplane in front of the cockpit, and a main, swept wing on the rear of the craft. Yaw control comes from rudders on winglets, which also act as airbrakes when both rudder pedals are depressed simultaneously. A 115-horsepower Lycoming four-cylinder engine powers the craft from the rear, in a pusher configuration.

Designed for high-endurance, the Long-EZ has a range of 2,000 miles and can fly for 10 hours on a single tank of fuel. The aircraft isn't restricted to straight-and-level cross-country flying, however. With a top speed of 185 miles per hour and the ability to handle aerobatic maneuvers like rolls and loops, the Rutan Model 61 Long-EZ is a truly nimble and responsive performer.
