How about now ?

Having rocket power and accu/solar power could make this versatile and fast.

I see a possibility to sorta catch the sun…even if you take off late or too early to fly with solar power alone ?

Glideratio of 50 alone gives a distance of 2500 km if the glide is initiated at 50 km altitude ( at mach 1.5 for instance ).

Is this feasible ?

Will James Bond buy the Balmoral with 30 000 salmonds ?

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Golf range at front looks a OK.

He is explaining how a nice girl was in his fridge as he headed for the eggs to make an omelett !

Did I win ?

It is incredible how low the treshold for killing can go. I was shocked when the Archangel ex-gulag chief after moving to Canada told in his book/memoirs that the favourite past time for common criminals was to hit 6 inch nail into political prisoners scull after he/she had fallen to sleep !

Rosberg is driving in one of the best cars at the moment.

How do we know that for sure ?

We don’t of course but If I am wrong then we might conclude that Vettel or Alonso might have beaten him.

Is the Mercedes faster on the straight aways ?

Good work Topspeed. I’ve been meaning to have a go at a VAWT myself for many years. From my perspective the VAWT is the way to go as I live in an urbanish environment where I wouldn’t be allowed to install a HAWT at a decent enough height to generate meaningful electricity.

WRT the aesthetics of wind farms, I lived in Germany for a fair few years and there they seem to have become an accepted part to the landscape. It is recognised that they are needed and are a more palatable solution than nuclear power.

Yes I am working on my third prototype.
