Development on the brand new GT-9 sky glider has been completed and the gliders are now up for sale.

Designed for transportation, the GT-9 (Glider Transport) is the official means of long distance transportation for the Federal Triumvirate. These gliders are great for transport in and out of populated areas where noise is an issue. The range of the GT-9 is theoretically unlimited, held back only by the number of passengers and the ability of the pilot to find strong thermals. It has two jet engines that are used primarily during take-off and landing. During flight, the engines are turned off and the plane glides silently.

Order confirmed

The engines are smaller than their housings, which help to limit the noise through echo wave cancelation.
