The only thing stopping me from hanging tricycle gear and a pair of
JetCat 200 turbojets off my Wright machine is the $10k+ cost of the
engines. Supose I could just use a pair of chainsaw motors... or even
6 model airplane engines, but that wouldn't be nearly as cool. By
Wilbur's calcs, the 1902 glider only requires 6 hp at 30 kts cruise.
Stall is at 14, and Vne is about 50 kts. Of course it'll still fly
like crap compared to a modern UL, but then the design is 104 years
old.
