HD 1 Swift

YA' YA' I know there is a bunch of stuff still missing on this little bird, but I am just one guy designing this aircraft (and I have a life beyond flight sim).
So there I was, just blasting around at low level again, and hit P to grab this.

This little thing is a blast! 8-)  I've been using this and the Angel 44 by Travis to do the SimV hop lists. :)

Perfect for high speed travel between small bush strips. ;)

You wanted to see the inside of the aircraft...

There is not much.  Envision a cockpit the same size as a standard glider crammed with instruments, and electronics (when it's done), a very simple seat, and a bubble canopy so there are no frame posts of any kind, a carpet on the floor, carbon fiber visible everywhere else, and you can't see your feet or the peddels since they are so far forward under the instrument panel.  
What can can see - is the world around you because the panel is so small, making for some great VFR flying.  Climb virtical to FL350, pull the stick back to about 6g's leveling off at FL400 upsidedown, and then flip her over, cruising off into the sun set at Mach 1.8

Also great for blasting over the tree tops at a breakneck pace, the open sides of the panel make it easier to avoid most obstacles. ;D ;)

This thing is like the crotch rocket of aircraft. :o
