Hello Kyle,

There are plenty of other compromises that were made to achieve the GF's
performance, and most of 'em work against using the aircraft for practical
transportation...



Also, it seems that the pilot seat in the Global Flyer must feel like
sitting in a huge jet fuel tank. Not for the faint of heart. But then
again, landing in one of these would certainly turn some heads.

Regards, Joerg
