The FAA's summary their words, unchanged
These special conditions are issued for the DeVore Model 100 Series Airplanes. The airplane will have novel and unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisaged in the airworthiness standards of 14 CFR Part 23 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). These novel and unusual design features include the aerodynamic configuration of the airplane, the location of the engine and propeller, and the use of composite materials for primary flight structure, for which the regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate airworthiness standards. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards which the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that provided by the airworthiness standards of Part 23.
