Today, GCI showed an astonishing work. With the help of many other companies (not directly affiliated), a glider was made to be able to carry the low power rocket engine.

This took a few weeks to build, spreaded in 3 months. A light but solid 1840kg unmotorised plane, with the space for the engine.

For the engine a better version, slightly bigger but delivering more power, was chosen to power the glider. It weighs around [Locked] kg.

The power was measured delivering up to [Locked] kN of force.

The plane was able to reach a top speed of [Locked] km/h but the problem remaining is reliability and fuel consumption.
