Why hasn the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) supported Burnelli in view of the unique safety characteristics of the Burnelli Lifting Body design?
A close look at FSF membership indicates that for all intents and purposes it acts as lobbying organization for the major manufacturers (military & commercial aerospace). These manufacturers have repeatedly refused to take a license from Burnelli while building Burnelli type aircraft for the Pentagon. The FSF has shown that its primary responsibility is to its membership and will not recognize competitive products from others. Therefore the FSF should not qualify as a tax-free organization. You may want to ask the FSF directly why they refuse to recognize Burnelli and the safety of his airplanes.
