The Ross RS-1 Zanonia is a single seat, gull-winged glider that was designed and built in 1937 by Harland Ross for actor Harvey Stephens. The design has been highly successful and the aircraft won several competitions, as well as setting many records.〔Said, Bob: ''1983 Sailplane Directory, Soaring Magazine'', page 58. Soaring Society of America, November 1983. USPS 499-920〕 ==Design and development== Stephens commissioned Ross to build the Zanonia in 1937 and the aircraft was completed in time for Ross to fly it in the 1937 US Nationals. The aircraft was named after the Zanonia macrocarpa tropical flowering plant, the seeds of which are good gliders. The designation indicates ''Ross-Stephens''. The general layout of the glider was inspired by the Lippisch Fafnir II.〔〔 The Zanonia is an all-wood design, with a mid-gull wing. Take-off is performed from a dolly and landing is on a fixed skid. Only one was built and it is registered as an amateur-built.〔〔
