Assuming:
- L/D 40:1 850 pound Sailplane (in my case Genesis 2) - Cluster of (3) currently available EDF Units producing combined ~60 pounds STATIC THRUST (AFTER taking into account loss of efficiency do to close clustering of intake ducts) - Battery capacity for ~10 minutes full power .. no reserve - 2,500ft Paved Runway .. No Tailwind ![]() - Sailplane pre-positioned on runway (not taxied to runway) - Goal altitude of ~1,500ft AGL I should have added: "Starting from 1,000ft MSL" Curt -95 |
