Thoughts on the comment below.

1/ So supposing we take the engines off, and then get the C of G back to
where it should be?

2/ Does anyone know of a 4 mile wide thermal to get lift from, or do we
have to tow it to some wave? Guess we would need a war ship towing into a
100 kt wind to do a winch launch!

3/ So just what would it glide angle be in this configuration? It's got
huge and efficient wings (but at what airspeed) for a start!

Take off the engines. In that case in a gliding society we can be of
service. Now unfortunately not. Good luck.
