I am a fan of small flying aircraft that with some modification (remove the explosive) and the changing of the stall speed and the fitting of a reliable engine and wheels etc.. can be reformed into a small aircraft that can fit inside the average car garage...

See if you leave out the bomb, which is 1200 Kg., then you have an aircraft that is designed to fly with that load, and the aircraft weights 1100 Kg in total - with it's rocket motors - remove them - say 300 Kg - and improve upon the aerodynamic characteristics, handling and the issue, that it only had to work ONCE... like say 2 hours flying under a bomber and 5 or 10 minutes glide time by it's self, and build a good aircraft, you have all the basics in place for the basis of a good small aircraft....

I reckon with clever redesign and a small piston engine and landing gear and say 50 liters of fuel, you could get the aircraft in at 500Kg.. or less.... With composites and or balsa etc., you could get it down to 350 Kg.....

A 200Kmh flying speed....


This is why the drawings and or scale models and or pictures etc., are so useful, as is this video.....

That and a few scale models and a wind tunnel....
