Let's put your knowledge to the test:
What is the glide ratio you THINK the Jobycraft has, Loser?
And what do you think the glide ratio of an ordinary light aircraft like
a Cessna 172 would be?
Are you at least aware that glide ratio is the same thing as lift/drag
ratio, Loser?
And you are aware that props can be designed to feather, right, Loser;
and even folded completely?
