Very efficent!
Jet-fuel powered but with a large propeller at the back. Could be a
Diesel
engine driving it. I'm sure there are pistons and gear reductions
involved..
Impressive performance, shows you on how little power a clean airframe
can
sustain altitude.
Taking the JS3 high wing idea a bit far?
