I know.

The answer to your question is not as simple as it
seems. If you are serious about a jet sailplane, send
me an e-mail.

Or perhaps know a link whereby I can find the information
or formula
needed so I can determine the answer myself.

I've looked ..googled..etc...can't find a thing.

I did read some where online that 3,600,000 joules
would be needed.....but
can't find a conversion formula.

Thanks
