I want a glider with a huge freakin pulse jet strapped to it burning heavy crude or coal tar, throwing fire out the back for half a mile, sounding like Gabriel has jacked his trumpet into an amplifier powered by relativistic jets from a supermassive black hole. Better still, Project Pluto... 66 The Diesel-Electric idea seems great. It would be nice to run a winch where the noise of a big block V-8 doesn't drown out the singing of the rope. Hardly science-fiction, as D-E engines brought an end to the steam age of trains in the 1960s. Wishing the best results to all designing new stuff! Jim
