hi guys
I thought I would post one last thing before I go on my LoA for three month and this is a project I am going to fight with to make it a real working thing.
and for those that wonder yes I have designed this all by myself. I did study aircraft design and construction so this is a project I have knowledge in not all but alot in aerodynamics and so on.
so far is most information secret to only me due patens on special ideas I am going to put in her. but some info can I give you.
it will be a self launching glider with the help of a mini jet engien capable to cary 2 persons or one person with cargo.
still hope you will like her.
until next time have fun

Oh, I like the version 2 update. Most especially the tail section redo. As with the rocket engine, I was wondering how the exhaust would affect the tail in version 1.

thanks for the comment.
the first version had a split exhaust that would lead the hot air and fumes on each side but the broplem did remain that it would not hold in the long term so I did redesign the tail to this twin fin version. even if it looks nice am I not sure if the math hold on it or if it works in reality. still that will be shown in the end I hope

Just had a thought about air drag, which I imagine to be important for a glider craft.
The engine itself would produce some drag, which would certainly change its flight characteristics as a glider.
Thus, I wonder about the possibility of the engine pod itself being either:
A) Retractable into the body,
B) Built into the body with exhaust ports on the underbelly, or
C) Smaller pods built into the wings (some drag, but not protruding out as it is now), kind of small engines blended into the wing.
Just some thoughts.

Very nice indeed. I like the intakes/thrusters built and blended into the body airframe.
Beautiful work.
