New Glider Dream Elon Musk Flow
Pedestal mounted wing?
Pedestal -- Look at the Lo-150 (& Lo-100 aerobatic) sailplane. The
fuselage
at the rear spar is so narrow, one wing connects to the fuselage and
the
second connects to a fitting on the first wing. Again, like Tony said,
not
a new concept...
If you are looking back, you may as well look at the German gliders
of the 1930's. Most had high wings, and some were pedestal
mounted.
Also, for camber changing flaps, IIRC, the SB-11 which Reichman
used to win the 1978 15m WGC had them too.
