A very large and graceful single seat glider that can glide effortlessly for hours. No tow planes or air start is required, however, due to a small turbo jet mounted on the top of the fuselage. This glider can stay airborne at extremely low speeds due to the large flaps operated by the VTOL controls. At full flap, it can glide at just 59 mph
