My LS8-18 glider, but with a small jet engine strapped to it!
Based on the real glider LS8-18, with the technical details mostly like the real one.
The optimal speed for the best glide performance is 100 km/h (60 mph). Use the trim for easy speed control.
The small engine provides the ability to climb for a short time period (4,75 minutes).
If you start from the ground, you can gain up to 1600m (5250 ft). Already in air, you can gain up to 2000m (6560 ft) additional height.
- Glide ratio @100 km/h: 48:1
- Combined max range (climb + glide): 105 km (65 mi)
- Minimum/stall speed: 70 km/h (43 mph)
- Max average climb speed: 7 m/s (23 fps)
