In 1962, Dr. Benton C. Quest, at the age of twenty seven, began the design and development of the worlds first supersonic transport aircraft. Two years later his dream flew and was not challenged for over ten years. Privately funded, only a few examples were built. No two aircraft were alike, upgrades were made along the way but all were recognizable with their canard layout. No SST has ever approached their performance. Later in the 1980's , Dr. Quest developed the "Dragonfly II" , another SST with a parasite aircraft for observation missions . In the end it proved to be a failed concept and was mothballed after only three years. The original "Dragonfly" continued to soldier on for another forty years, but fatigue and the economics of the time began to take their toll. In 2010, still in good health, Dr. Quest began to develop the "DragonflyIII". While development has been shrouded in rumor it's know that it is Mach 3 capable.-----------The build begins---
