>>32968 lol. They might use the badminton net

>>32957 Lets hope he doesn't need to land on a aircraft carrier and make use of his 'arrestor hook' :S

>>32956 This is where a 'belly landing' is really a belly landing. I'm sure he navigates a 'stand up' landing but still....

>>32954 or the wingsuit!

I would imagine that 1.3L/min is only on full thrust which would only be on take off. Even then this isn't a plane for long flights. These little engine would be great for powered gliders though.

>>32950 I would have to opt for the prop job since it has a decent range and cruising speed. I can't reason owning a jet-job with only 11 minutes of run time.
I like the size. Lifting off quickly and landing in a short space would have many advantages.

>>32942 Because this is a kit aircraft the specs vary from site to site but according to the site below the Cricket has a 15 Liter (6 US gals, 35 lbs) fuel tank.

This would mean that the jet version has 11.5 minutes of run time. I do recall that jet/turbine engines require more fuel during start-up, so it could be much less time up in the air.

The original MC-10 Cri-Cri with two piston engines has a cruising speed of 170 kmh / 92 kts / 105.6 mph and a range of 750 km / 466 mi / 405 nmi.

Engine is amazing for its size but with the given fuel consumption and the size of the plane, the range must be fairly short.

This example was built in 2011 by Sakkie Van Heerden and David Botes. First flight 18 Feb 2012. It has now been retro fitted with jet engines.

The Colomban Cri-cri (English: the chirp-chirp sound made by a cricket) is the smallest twin-engined manned aircraft in the world, designed in the early 1970s by French aeronautical engineer Michel Colomban.
