    Rohr Aircraft built very few aircraft. This was their first. Aerofiles seems to believe it was initially designed as a canard and later was either rebuilt or a second aircraft built as per above design.
    I think it was only one single design, this one.
    The FAA has the following details for NX90651
    msn (c/n) 1; reg 1 July 1946 and canx 10 May 1949
    Aerofiles adds that it was designed by B.F. Haynes (or Raines) and Frank McGreery (while you prefer McCreery.
    No idea which spelling is correct....
    Anyone?

    Stig Jarlevik: newspaper obituaries in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times spell it McCreery. Assuming he died in 1990 and was president of Rohr. Your corrections and ideas are welcomed.

    The second name you mention appears to be Burt F. Raynes who went on to become president of the Material Handling division. This has been added to the tags. The name appears in a newspaper article and historic company data.

    As people used to say about automaker Studebaker, Automove was, "ahead of its time." It was a needed product but users didn't yet fully appreciate the benefits.
