Aircraft program
Family of sailplane aircraft including JS1 Revelation (discontinued), JS2 Revenant, JS3 Rapture, JS4 Rengeti. Pilots can select a choice of propulsion systems: the solo fuel injection self launcher system, the solo electric sustainer/self-launch system or the MD-TJ 42 jet sustainer system.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
