Paul,
I worked on the Steve Fossett LSR team that bought and rebuilt Craig
Breedlove's Sonic Arrow.  We have been looking for the inventor of the
focusing link and have a lead that it was you.  If so, I would like to ask
you several questions regarding the theory of the design and its application
in the Sonic Arrow.

Guilty as charged. How is Craig? I have not heard from him in years.

The links form a virtual pivot ahead
of the tire contact patch so it forms a caster effect.

Here is an example of such a system on my flying motor cycle
design.

The two vertical links control the camber of the wheel
and the lateral link mounted at the back of the wheel
controls the steer angle. Craig said it worked very well
up to 400 MPH.
