I just made this.

Wonder if those reporters around the world that gets everywhere would get better info and pics when they could fly really fast to places where news are being born ( Libya, Sendai, Fukushima etc )..this kinda really cheap mach I ( or even II ) jet could make it possible.

Is wood as a structure ( also carbon and glassfibre ) any good. Idea would be to keep this really lite and simple ( 100 000 euros tops price tag ).

Engines could be just little bigger than model engines have, but a powerful afterburner is amust that a reporter can get a way before the armyjets come.

I recall BD-10 was something similar but hardly reached 350 KTS ?

Any ideas ?
