Thought I'd start at the Bumper and work backwards, wad ya Think! ;D

I've seen that some where before......

Where's the towing eye cover? ;D

Ah, I see yours has got the K & N free flowing filter fitted. ;)

Pilots side lower left, are you blind, ::) ;)

Well, as an idea it certainly has wings... :D

Nowhere near long enough, though, and they've got those gay engine things on them too. ::)

Well thank you Al, the wings are my own design I'll have you know, but as my Avatar suggests I dont do Red Bull. ;)

Never had any complaints as yet. ::)
"they've got those gay engine things", what, them gay engine things are Antimatter Nuclear Pulse Propulsion Motors. When we went on them Quantum Engineering Technology Day Release lessons did you not pick up anything Kevin. ::)
-
What happens when the crank sensor bolted to the side of the Antimatter Nuclear Pulse Propulsion Motor fails? Does it drop out of the sky?

That's where you need yer long wings. ::) It drops slow enough for you to have one on order by the time you land, at the nearest stealer. :y

Yea, try doing that half way across the Atlantic. :D

How high does it fly, again? ;)

If one of theses Worlds largest glider (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9iduo-dzP8) manages 75 or so miles from 35,000 ft, then the answer is probably "Not high enough" ;D

Not the world's best glider, though. In fact, a very cr@p glider indeed. I make that a glide angle of 1:12.8. ;D
My relatively modest glider manages 1:40. 1:60 is possible only by spending more money. Feeding the pilot oxygen and preventing him turning into a block of frozen tomato puree at 35,000 feet is more of an issue, admittedly. ::)
Anyway, other people make crank sensors that work, and aircraft would undoubtedly have carbs and a pair of magnetos, which also work. Multiple engines, as well, so it doesn't matter too much if one doesn't work.
Does an Antimatter Nuclear Pulse Propulsion Motor even have a crank sensor? :-\
-
Wasn't very economical either iirc... took off with a full fuel load and still didn't get half way without running out ;D
Joking aside, I'm not sure that a 100+ ton glider would be more efficient, although the Airbus did have a four hundred or so knot speed advantage when the lights went out :-\
As for the nuclear powered flying car, I can see that being banned from sale in certain parts of the middle east, indian subcontinent and certain parts of Alabama ;D

Weight isn't necessarily a problem other than getting it airborne, as weight times altitude is energy. In fact, gliders carry water ballast to increase their weight, which improves their glide performance.
What will tend to be a problem is keeping the wing loading low, as that's what makes a glider efficient. To get a 60:1 glide angle on a glider weighing, say, 700 Kg, you are already above a 20m wing span. 100 tonnes is going to get pretty unwieldy. ;D

3km wingspan? Sounds feasible..

No. I'm sure he'll tell you that, despite what everyone else* says, it's a great solution.
