The Rutan Model 40 Defiant was initially a proof of concept design for a safe center line thrust four place twin engined aircraft. Rutan intended to certify the aircraft for production, but was unable to find financing. The design was instead modified for homebuilt construction (Model 74). N57KS was registered in 2005.
