This is a glider with power pods. It has incredible capability due to its unique design. It has two detachable pods on the front with an engine, set of wheels and a fuel tank on each. The idea is that you take on a runway using the pod's wheels as stablisers on the ground. You then climb to a high altitude at a speed of around 200mph using hardly any fuel. Then you level out, detach the pods and glide safely back home. Simple!
