John Hunton'S W48 Chute Lander





Comments on the aircraft from John.


"It seems like progress on W48 Chute Lander is slower
than the movement of a tectonic plate,
but every now and then It makes some progress.
Two emails are sent with ten photos taken this morning.
To move ahead with construction,
engineering of the chute deployment system
has been put off until after W48 takes to the air."
