The Silent Eagle is a Stemme S10 VT, perhaps the best sailplane in the history of aviation. She takes off just like an ordinary airplane. Therefore, she is safer, more efficient, and more affordable than a tow-launched glider.
All gliders are fun. Most of the danger, however, is in the launch. Most gliders are tow-launched or winch-launched. The majority of accidents occur during this most dangerous phase of the flight. The Silent Eagle launches itself just like an ordinary airplane, and therefore it is just as safe as an ordinary airplane.
Ordinary gliders often have to land "out", meaning off an airfield. Because the Silent Eagle has an engine which can always be restarted, I can guarantee return to the airport.
Flying at Mach 0.08, the Speed of Silence.
