If I recall correctly, it was intended to fill a somewhat similar role to the A-10. Sort of like a "Warthog Lite=" small, agile, and able to be really close to the action on the ground. I recall reading a bit about= "Pin It")

I recall reading a bit about this when it was being developed and tested in one of the science magazines that were around then. Burt Rutan was in the news a lot at the time. They were calling this plane the "mud fighter" at the time.Originally Posted by mlochala
Some unusual design features were used to meet the requirements. Pretty cool airplane.
