The company was founded to sell plans for the Parrish Dart design. The Dart design underwent a number of changes between its conception in 1983 as a delta-winged aircraft and its final 1995 canard configuration, greatly resembling the Rutan Long-EZ.[1]

The company was incorporated on 5 April 1996 and in April 2015 its corporate filing status was listed as "inactive".[2]

By 1998 the company reported that one aircraft had been completed and was flying.[1] In April 2015 only one example, the prototype, was registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration and it is unlikely that any others were constructed.[3]
