Interesting.

If one takes a sailplane and mounts an engine on it he gets a powered sailplane. What makes me
thinking that Wrights plane was not a powered plane, but a motor glider :-). A selflauncher to be
excact. Or a touring motor glider.


Not even self-launching. It needed a bungee launch even with the
engine running.
