Homebuilt Question

I'm wonder how this would play

d. Gear is retractable.

e. Propulsion is "rather mysterious".

Now, how would this plane be certified?
No one else can fly it. *Much of the
technology is sealed beneath carbon
fiber. *No one knows how fast it goes.
It is homebuilt. *Builder is willing to
concede that it isn't lightsport.

Thanks.

It looks kinda like this, except no pusher prop,
or winglets. It has 11 control surfaces.

Assuming you are in the USA, you certify it the same way you certify any
homebuilt airplane.

As always, Google is your friend in any search for knowledge. In this
particular case however, you might want to start with the EAA.
