Plexiglass + BMW = Fun

Check out the forward visibility on this little number. The Isatis 01 pairs a BMW motorcycle engine with some pretty killer plexiglass work to make an exciting light aircraft. The French manufacturer, AeroJames has placed the engine behind the pilot allowing for additional forward visibility. The engine, a 1200cc BMW motorcycle engine, is mated to the propeller via a carbon fiber shaft.

The Wired article mentions 2 aircraft being delivered to US customers this year, however, I couldn't find any more information than that on the AeroJames website. If you've got details, drop them in the comments.
