What happens when the crank sensor bolted to the side of the Antimatter Nuclear Pulse Propulsion Motor fails? Does it drop out of the sky?
That's where you need yer long wings. It drops slow enough for you to have one on order by the time you land, at the nearest stealer.
Yea, try doing that half way across the Atlantic.
How high does it fly, again?
If one of theses Worlds largest glider manages 75 or so miles from 35,000 ft, then the answer is probably "Not high enough"
Not the world's best glider, though. In fact, a very cr@p glider indeed. I make that a glide angle of 1:12.8.
My relatively modest glider manages 1:40. 1:60 is possible only by spending more money. Feeding the pilot oxygen and preventing him turning into a block of frozen tomato puree at 35,000 feet is more of an issue, admittedly.
Anyway, other people make crank sensors that work, and aircraft would undoubtedly have carbs and a pair of magnetos, which also work. Multiple engines, as well, so it doesn't matter too much if one doesn't work.
Does an Antimatter Nuclear Pulse Propulsion Motor even have a crank sensor?
