Originally known as the Davis Wing DX-1, the Starship
Alpha was designed by Gilbert E. Davis and although kits were offered to
homebuilders it is believed that only the prototype was built and this
is maintained in airworthy condition. It is of sweptback flying wing
configuration with the engine installed behind the cockpit. It has since
been re-engined with a Kawasaki engine.
