Dan Denney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dan Denney is the original designer of the Kitfox airplanes. He is a two time recipient of the EAA lifetime achievement award for his contributions to the aviation industry.

Denney designed and built the Thunder Mustang, a 3/4 scale carbon fiber P-51 replica. The venture was unsuccessful financially, but is widely believed to be the most high performance and most complex experimental kit airplane ever to go into production.[citation needed]

He built and owned 92XL, the fastest normally aspirated Glasair III ever constructed, which brought Denney a variety of racing records and awards from 1992 through 2003.
