Old ideas being revisited: design nr. 1

Let me share with all of you some old designs i was drafting some years ago when i was still at the University. Even if most of the courses were exiting (at the end it was aerospace engineering :-) ), some of them were quite boring, and so i was spending my time drafting my dreams.
The one attached below was again related to a foot launch-able tailless glider. In that case, i considered the option to reduce wingspan, wing surface and weight to the real minimum. The design was drafted around a pilot lying in a prone position.

One of the issues to be solved were connected with the wing spar positioning relative to the pilot. The idea was to shape the spar in a way that it was surrounding the pilot body (see the small section view). Sincerely i do not know how feasible it is, but for sure is a potential solution.
From a structural and transport perspective, the idea was to split the glider into 5 parts:

• fuselage pod
• 2 half wings
• 2 winglets

Wingspan was supposed to be 11 m. Considering a 1 meter wide fuselage pod, it means max 5 meters per each wing half, that makes the glider easily transportable on the top of a mid size car.

Intriguing, right?

I hope i'm able to find the time to post all the other designs i was drafting, and would be nice to open a discussion on them. I really want to move forward in building at least a radio controlled model of the concept we will judge as the best one.

Stay tuned, and have good flights!
