Standalone Glider Tow – continue (Unbridled fantasy :)

I took the Nimbus-4 glider to demonstrate my system in GrabCAD by Antanas Sulskis – my many thanks... For such a design, the use of the Nimbus-4 airframe looks more impressive.

«ГОЛУБ» (Dove in Ukrainian) should return to the starting point.
The fundamental difference from the previous version is the use of a hard wing for the module to fly to the launch site.
The rigid wing of the towing vehicle in the hitch configuration acts as a glider flap; therefore, the glider's own flaps are not used during takeoff.
Docking the tow to the glider is carried out without any additional separate elements.
The towing design is versatile and simply adapts to different gliders of similar type (e.g. Nida or Nimbus).
Adaptation is carried out by turning the wing parallel to the trailing edge of the glider wing. After disconnecting the towing vehicle, its wing is automatically set strictly perpendicular to the flight.
The towing vehicle has a “duck” aerodynamic design and has no loss in balancing (the lifting force is created by the wing and the horizontal tail).
Fundamentally: the center of lift and the center of gravity of the glider plus tow system ensure the stability and controllability of the system only by the glider rudders. An increase in the lifting force of the system allows to increase the towing mass up to 50 kg, and these are additional batteries - energy consumption - time of a motor flight.
