First, the structural design of the aircraft offers an optimized center of gravity that results in better flight stability and handling. Gogetair says its G750 offers some specific advantages when it comes to integrating with the TP-R50. The G750s larger structural design also offers greater opportunity for added fuel capacity.

A tailless aircraft is a fixed-wing airplane without a horizontal stabilizing surface. With this type of aircraft, the functions of longitudinal stability and control are incorporated into the main wing. A tailless airplane is one where everything needed to fly, like lift, control, and stability, is built into the main wing.

If we understand it well enough, we can harness this phenomenon to help us even defy gravity. Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. The aircraft pivots about its center of gravity. The elevator raises if you pull back on the stick or yoke.

From the pilot’s seat it cruises near effortlessly and handles nimbly on land or water with a great combination of stability and modest control pressures. Just recognizable in the background is a horizontal stabilizer and one-piece elevator. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32 I think I’d have figured out the trick in another couple hours.
