I don't recall the AMA safety code prohibiting any specific designs of planes (beyond things like metal props, certain fuels, or gaseous boosts and requiring special approval for planes over 55 lbs or powered by turbines.)

Which rules prohibit certain airplane designs?

Where in the AMA rules? Would you post an URL?

Now THAT looks like fun! Too bad it is not allowed in the AMA...no functional rudder and a turbine.
