A model of the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing aircraft in a wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center. By early 2019, following extensive wind tunnel testing at NASA Ames Research Center, an optimized truss and more sweep for the 170 ft (52 m) span wing allowed flying higher and faster, up from Mach 0.70–0.75 to Mach 0.80 like current jetliners.

The wings, tail and fuselage are covered with doped aircraft fabric. Like the Cessna 150, the 606's wings are strut-braced, but where the 150 uses a single strut, the FP-606 incorporates a "V" strut with "N" jury struts. Also unlike the 150, which has large and powerful flaps, the 606 has no flaps.
Designed as a larger four-seat version of the Rebel, the Super Rebel is an all-metal high-wing braced monoplane with two rows of side-by-side seats for four. [2] The prototype first flew in November 1995 and was powered by a 250 hp (190 kW) Lycoming O-540-4A5 driving a two-bladed constant-speed propeller. [2]

The speed wing restricts the aircraft's useful load to 170 lb (77 kg), while the standard wing allows 250 lb (113 kg). [1] [5] The standard engine is the 40 hp (30 kW) Rotax 447, although engines of 28 to 52 hp (21 to 39 kW) can be used. The manufacturer estimates that a builder will take 100–120 hours to complete this aircraft from the kit.
