Vor 30 Jahren hat man mich belächelt, als ich "prophezeite",dass wir in absehbarer Zeit Segelflugzeuge mit Strahltriebwerk haben werden.. Klasse Video! Vielleicht kannst Du bei Gelegenheit noch was zu Startstrecke, Steigrate,Verbrauch etc. sagen? Merci vielmals!
Looks like a jetcat 1000 pro. Jetcat is one the biggest rc turbine manufacturers since the early 2000s.Not sure if their pro series have more certificates for use in GA. This Arcus has to be in the US experimental class for sure. Which is awesome. Otherwise, this video wouldn't be here.
@@jonkje I'd be surprised if they have any aviation certification: small (very small) market & big cost. That said, what's the reliability of these units like?
The jet engines used on JS gliders are basically modified RC jets. The one on this sailplane is much closer to avation grade equipment and I believe was initially designed for cruise missiles.
@lautoka63 I believe AMT and Jakadofdky have certified turbines. In the UK flies a Pitts Special with two AMT turbines mounted next to the cockpit for additional power. Rich Goodwin airshows.
@lautoka63 jetcat and other rc turbines are alle single stage turbines. One compressor, and one turbine wheel. Jetcat is one of the oldest and wel known brands on the market, reliable for sure, but the turbines are heavier compared to newer brands. My 80N turbine weighs 700 gram, brushless starter motor, brushless fuel pump, ECU, GSU and lipo battery. Automatic engine restart after flame out. Acceleration from idle to max power around 3,5 seconds.Maintenance intervals usually after 25 hours, some brands 50 hours. So you have to ship them back to the dealer. In general very reliable powerplants.
Thats incredible. I wonder, since i've only flown a 172, do you have to force them down or do you keep holding off the landing as long as possible until you touchdown?
Any sailplane is beautiful, but what was V2? I would think that a sailplane has a high L/D, greater than your typical heavy jet but the roll out seemed long. The ground speed (suggested by the view out the canopy) suggested a high speed.
It´s an experimental airplane, so I believe noise is not a problem in the US. I don´t know about the consumption but I would guess we burned at least 40 l of Jet A1
Given the landing, I believe the pilot was just being "gentle" with the takeoff. But, consider that the jet engine doesn't make a whole heap of thrust, it could very well take a bit to take off.
As a German glider Pilot I can´t imagine this would pass the approval procedure by the LBA (our FAA).. At least because of noise issues. Maybe with an "Experimental" approvement. But I would also be interested to see one
@@tangoceraIt was a LS4 Jet. With the Arcus Jet the big difference is that it’s much more powerful and you can self launch with it. Also certification and noise problems are easier when it’s only a sustainer 😉
Im Verein würde ich ca. 2000 € schätzen und zwei Jahre sollte man wahrscheinlich einkalkulieren. In einer Flugschule geht das natürlich auch wesentlich schneller.
If you are talking about the sound at 4:15 then it's the variometer. It indicates changes in total energy (kinetic energy + height potential energy). If it beeps your are gaining energy (you are in some sort of rising air stream). The higher the pitch, the faster you are gaining energy. If it is a continuous sound instead of a beeping, you are loosing total energy instead (friction).
Takeoff with water ballast even with two pilots? Jet exhaust is hot (as pointed out). Is it ok to just stow it so quickly or is that editing? I would not want to look back there and see fire.
Looooooong take off run. I wonder what the break down cost per launch is. Engine unit cost, conversion cost, fuel consumption. In Britain, a club I am a member of (Denbigh Gliding) hosts two Arcus M's it is deemed sensible to take an Aerotow saving engine hours, delaying servicing and TBO costs and downtime.
You can´t compare a microlight plane with a glider. Gliders are for soaring, even if they have a propulsion. Of course there are many cheaper microlight and other planes on the market...
Der Arcus Jet braucht schon eine ordentliche Startrollstrecke, aber dann haben wir erst einmal Fahrt in Bodennähe aufgenommen. Man muss nicht unbedingt mit 180 km/h steigen 😅
The smoothest butter landing
JP is a fantastic pilot! We flew with 4 or 5 different aircraft and he nailed it every time!

The ultimate in glider design!!
Best invention ever! I love this machine.
Gut geflogen, Stefan! Danke, dass du den Ton repariert hast.
Immer wieder gerne!
Living the American Dream… mit JetCat Antrieb wohlverstanden 👍
That beeping would do my head in
Very Nice Stefan! Thanks! 🙂
Der Arcus ist schon ein schickes Gerät!
Fantastic! Cross country jet!
is the wing scraping against the ground?
Hope the heat insulation is good once that jet goes inside the body....great piece of kit!
it probably cools down after shut down before it even goes back inside, air cooled lol
So cool!!
😮 looks fun , nice sweet video thank you for your sharing
I always wondered - are these jets just glorified RC turbines or is someone actually making real airplane certified jets at this size?

Fuel lasts about how long with continuous use? Ballpark cost?
POV: your friend says he has a private jet.
The jet:
You even need a jet rating in the US to fly it 😅
😮 this is one thing I would love to try out doing,, looks exciting exhilarating , WOW
Nice!

As it’s single engine there is no V2. 🙄
Where do you put the golf clubs?⛳️🏌🏼
so cool
Is this turbo fan engine
What is the weather like?😊
Hi Stef, what a crazy glider but what about noise and consumption?😢 What kind of Jet is it?
It´s an experimental airplane, so I believe noise is not a problem in the US. I don´t know about the consumption but I would guess we burned at least 40 l of Jet A1
2017年にMoriatyでSustainerを見たけど、遂にSelfLaunchができたんだ。Exhaustが左右に分かれているのは成る程。数メーター離れているとはいえど、高温ガスが垂直尾翼にあたるよな。左右に分かれているExhaustがない時、Bob CarltonはV尾翼のSaltに積んでいた。
Nice!
Thanks!
Interesting, thanks for sharing. The take-off run did seem very, long. Prohibitively long for grass, perhaps?
Given the landing, I believe the pilot was just being "gentle" with the takeoff.
But, consider that the jet engine doesn't make a whole heap of thrust, it could very well take a bit to take off.
Are you Ukranian by birth or just a wannabe?
Crazy, didn't even know this existed until your oshkosh video. Do you know If there is one or Something Like this one in / near Germany?

@@Halfi79 I think I saw a LS-3 jet conversion in one of Steffans videos but not sure If that was in Germany.

Next step is the afterburner
Melting the whole rear section of the sailplane 😅
@@phmwu7368😂
And shorter wings and you get a F 16 .
And a GAU8
Attach some missiles u get fighter jet mission : somke em boys
90 kts on the ASI, but the vario only showed +3?
Gibt es die möglichen so ein Segelflugzeug mal mit dir zu fliegen?
How is self launching glider different from airplane?
Because after it launches it glides with out power.
Just curious……. what are the military applications? Could the military use a black, silent glider?
There were 'silent' motorgliders developed and used by the US military during the Vietnam conflict.
nice backseat perspective
Glad you liked it!
That engine is not certified for takeof's per the EASA TCDS, yet it is used for take-off. May I know how is it allowed and made possible.
Megacoole Idee.. was kostet eig. die Ausbildung zum Segelflieger und wie lange dauert das so im Schnitt?
Im Verein würde ich ca. 2000 € schätzen und zwei Jahre sollte man wahrscheinlich einkalkulieren. In einer Flugschule geht das natürlich auch wesentlich schneller.
@@SteFly 2k über die Zeit... geh ich mal davon aus, dann geht das ja echt...
Again a very impressive video. The jet engine might be too noisy for an european registration? Good luck for the competition ahead!
Thank you!
Wow
What's that weird bleeping noise?

Good question. I think JP made a cool run before he stowed it

The English V is **always** a vocalisd F sound.
kam gestern schon mal oder ? ;)
Ja, dort war aber der Ton komplett zerstört. Habe es noch einmal überarbeitet und nochmal neu hochgeladen ;)
we have in Uk a microlight plane

Why you do not fly at night?
Mey you please upload a video at night?
I will!
looked like human powered airplane in the back of the hanger?
I thought the same but I beliefe it is an unmanned solar plane
Now put a GE 90 on it
I want
Unfortunately Stefan the chances of being allowed to self-launch in Deutschland are zero…. ☹️ Great video as always though.
Yes, that’s true 😢
Ich bin kein Pilot aber es sieht so aus als würde das Flugzeug ganz schön Startbahn fressen bis Rotate 😅❤
Der Arcus Jet braucht schon eine ordentliche Startrollstrecke, aber dann haben wir erst einmal Fahrt in Bodennähe aufgenommen. Man muss nicht unbedingt mit 180 km/h steigen 😅
self launching glider... they used to call those planes 😂
They're all airplanes. Glider just means it's capable of sustained gliding.

Not completely sure. At least 80 liters
