The Dart Manufacturing Corporation was founded in Columbus, Ohio, by Monocoupe dealer Knight K. Culver and Al Mooney to purchase the rights to the Mooney-designed Monosport G from the defunct Lambert Aircraft Corporation. [1] The company was renamed the Culver Aircraft Company in 1939.
His employer Vickers was not able to sponsor such a large-scale project, so the variable-sweep wing anti-aircraft missile Green Lizard was proposed and Wild Goose positioned as necessary preliminary research in order to obtain government funding. [2] By 1949 he was ready to build a large-scale radio-controlled flying model.
Originally designated the Culver Model L, the prototype first flew on 2 December 1939. The aircraft was named the Culver Cadet . Although similar to the previous Dart, the Cadet had a semi- monocoque fuselage instead of welded-steel-tube, and a retractable tailwheel undercarriage .

The Firebee II was a sleek dart of an aircraft with swept tailplane and swept mid-body wings. It was powered by a Teledyne CAE J69-T-6 turbojet with 1,840 lb f (8.2 kN) thrust, with the intake on the belly forward of the wings and the exhaust under the tailfins. Internal fuel capacity was small, but the target could be fitted with a conformal ...
These are launched from a dart gun using compressed gas, a tuft of fibers at the back of the missile serving as both fletching and wadding. A type of dart still finds use in military engagements, in the form of flechettes. These are all-metal projectiles, often resembling nails that have had fletching (rather than nail heads) forged into them.
