An alternative to the conventional rigid wing was explored to see if any advantage might be obtained by utilizing slotted airfoil sails for wings and a complete shift in emphasis towards a lighter vehicle at the expense of drag penalties. Optimum combinations of size and structural parameters were sought through extensive computer analysis. Various tradeoff considerations for further improving aircraft structural parameters were obtained with aircraft power requirements and the optimum flight v velocity.
