I'm waiting until they have a chance to put that motor in the SparrowHawk...


Take a look at the movie clip of the Silent IN with the Jet engines. I
ran some numbers on the engines over the weekend and I'm convinced
I've seen the future of soaring.

I've come to much the same conclusion as Mike. I'd use a single
more powerful turbine (maybe the 1500) instead of 2, but
the numbers seem to work for even fairly short fields.

The heat on the tail scares me though. Hmmm...how do we
get rid of the glider tail?
