One might ask, why lay that way? I assume you mean to imply that a
fuselage
with a smaller cross-section, hence less drag, could then be employed.
This
has sort of been done in the HP-18 series of gliders. In the HP-18 one
lays
almost flat on one's back, fet forward of course, with the head tilted
upward somewhat using a head rest. The HP-18 fuse is pretty short
compared
to most. Comfort can be an issue, or so I'm told. But to be fair, many
say
they like it just fine.

Diamant anyone? Thought the BS-1 was also very prone.
