"Aerolane believes it shouldn't be treated much differently by the FAA than regular ol' recreational gliders. It remains to be seen how the FAA will feel about this."

This is an absurd statement as it completely omits the automated part of the towed airplane. Witch is the major point of this project.

I was completely on-board until the word "autonomous". The gliders need at least a supervising crew if they are to fly anywhere near populated areas.

Don't worry. The good folks at Boeing have assured us that it is all perfectly safe.
