It's a photograph of the plane outside the hangar

with 3 men standing around it. The more I look at the cockpit area, the more it looks like it might be intended for unmanned operation. Instead of a normal windshield, it appears to have a series of circular viewports. A series of cameras aimed out of those ports could result in a panoramic composite view that would rival any airplane's visibility.

I saved the photo from the AOPA website (6 of them tiled together are now my computer's wallpaper). I also emailed it to Dan, so if he can post it on the server, you'll be able to see it. When it comes to wierdness, this thing makes the Proteus look like a Cessna. I love it!
