Jurca Fourtouna
The Jurca MJ-14 Fourtouna (English: Tempest) was a racing aircraft designed by Marcel Jurca in France in the late 1970s. It was an unconventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with retractable tailwheel undercarriage. The fuselage had a low profile that required the pilot to sit in a reclined position. The vertical stabiliser was very small, but aft of the cockpit, the fuselage changed shape from being low and broad to being high and narrow. None have been completed.

gollark: What if 1 in 100 allowed you to pick a code, too.
gollark: Thoughts?

gollark: To drive more drama, they would occasionally just vanish from scrolls for no reason.
gollark: Post enough in Suggestions/Requests and it would appear annoyingly placed in the middle of your scroll.
