The Scaled Composites Pond Racer was a revolutionary twin-engine, twin-boom racing aircraft designed by Burt Rutan to challenge vintage warbirds at the Reno Air Races. Built entirely from carbon fiber and Kevlar, it combined extreme lightweight construction with two turbocharged Nissan-based V6 engines producing 600 horsepower each. This video explores the full history of the Pond Racer, from its ambitious beginnings and radical engineering to its racing performance, technical challenges, and tragic final flight. A detailed look at one of aviation’s boldest experimental aircraft.
