Also… while looking at the site… just unicorns are missing. It’s warm&fuzzy engineering, no doors(that I can see at least) might create an incredible drag (remember when they tell you to drive with window closed to reduce fuel use…), I don’t really want to know what is their rationalisation for the front motor. But *pure hors3shit* come to my mind. Solar panel on a glider will make them too heavy, hybrid engine ? more weight for nothing. Shweizer glider are made of wood and fabric, from a recycling standpoint you can’t beat that.

And the best part “designed-for-disassembly”: When your primary goal when building something is to make it easily disposable. you might as well not do it. Expandable cars still require a lot of energy to make and recycle, that should be included in their environemental cost, not just the lies about their mpg. A 1936 Horch will last forever. My 98 A4 died in 5 years… guess who is taking more place in the landfill…

In fine… it’s a design study… call back when it’s an engineering study…
