MANTIS

 

There are two things to note about this presentation:

  1. I have assumed that the airfoil is constant throughout.  This may not be true.
  2. The Mantis is designed to be flown with camber control.  This configuration would only be used for flying in between thermals.  During launch or as soon as a thermal is detected, the camber would normally be increased, which would completely change the situation.
