His point was that apparently there's military money in the

would be an unfair advantage because it would not be available to
anybody to buy.

That should say "everyone to buy". Sorry.

No more true since DG-Flugzeugbau has taken over LS
and
has announced they are not going to continue the production
of the LS4.


That's why I used the PAST tense, I'm well aware that
DG are only going to build LS8s and maybe LS10s.

It used to be true and was in response to Mike Borgelt's
comment that the LS4 wasn't banned when it made the
previous generation of standard class gliders obsolete
(20 odd years ago now).

Sorry, I missed this subtle point, probably because
English is not my native language.

Funding for Dr. Sinha's drag reduction research has been committed for 2004
by NASA/Langley Research Center. His proposal, Micro-Flexural Composite
Surface for Aircraft Drag Reduction, was submitted in response to NASA
Research Announcement NRA-03-LARC-02. This development will provide much
needed funding as Dr. Sinha works to bring this new technology to the
marketplace. See www.oxaero.com for more details.
