This cool looking airplane has been in development for 10 years and it might be flying soon. For me, the most interesting part is that is powered by a conventional reciprocating engine instead of a turbine. Of course since it's a German engine and it's certified (in Europe), it's probably not going to be much cheaper than a turbine to buy, but fuel consumption should be much lower, as if anyone who will be able to afford this aircraft will care about mileage.
Wikipedia has a page about the engine.
