On the eve of E.I.M. SAD 2023—the annual EDF meeting in Schwandorf, Bavaria—a dinner conversation sparked an idea that refused to fade. One participant shared a cartoon of a futuristic Gee Bee jet, more sci-fi spacecraft than airplane, and joked that it could be turned into a flyable design. The concept immediately took hold. Unlike many fleeting inspirations, this one lingered, resurfacing again and again for nearly two years. Eventually, curiosity won out, leading to a few initial sketches and a back-and-forth exchange of renderings until a shared vision emerged. The result is unmistakably Gee Bee: a short, chunky fuselage, tiny wings, a cockpit set far back, and oversized wheel pants. The wingspan was set at 1000 mm. While a modern 70 mm EDF would normally suffice for an aircraft of this size, a Gee Bee demands excess—so the design was pushed further with an unapologetically large 80 mm EDF.
