JEEMO: Performance 'glider' with jet turbine engine inside

[dominicm]

Not often you see something fresh and innovative. This is the NEW Jeemo. A performance glider with a 45N jet turbine engine INSIDE the fuselage. No wonder it's so quick and agile.

Must have bloody strong spars to withstand those G forces.  Lot of pressure with long glider wings.

I've seen similar RC aircraft suffer worse abuse. Pylon racers, dynamic soarers, and some other turbine powered aircraft. The skill is in the design and construction of these things for me.
