The Kobra series, since it is so well known and well studied, is a common platform for experimental fits and Final Year Projects, the last make-or-break test of the engineering student. The idea of tandem annular wings has rather captured the imagination of the aerodynamics community in the last few years and many students have attempted investigations of the possible benefits.

So many of these aircraft have been built and studied that they are becoming something of a baseline in themselves, and some have received subsequent experimental conversions to create scouts that have little in common with their origins.
