The Boeing 747 I have designed has been modified to carry a tiny unmanned free flight glider and launch the glider in flight. You can make gliders, put them on the detacher and launch them while flying, just take off, climb to cruising altitude, switch to automatic pilot, activate the detacher, and watch the glider fly!
