For now they have not tested the wing with mini turbines and without them the wing can glide for 50km. It holds about 2 litres of fuel and Im sure that those previously posted ‘’mini jet engines‘’ would help too. I can already see the next evolution of James Bond movies – gliding for 200km and then diving underwater with this wing as a submarine. [...]
