I like it!




Neat design.



However, I suspect a larger tail volume will be required for winch launch.. Winch launch will be a necessity to keep training costs reasonable as tow plane operating costs continue to increase. The ASK-21 has superlative winch behavior partly because of its large horizontal tail.


I believe the Super-ship will be a SLG "jetturbine".
