Seeing how popular Schweitzer 232 gliders are with tourist operations ...
Schweitzer only built 37 of that model but many are still working hauling tourists, 2 at a time.
What would a modern replacement look like?
Would I need side doors to allow access for seniors or passengers with mobility problems?
How do you increase payload to include the weight of two modern tourists?
Can you keep the gross weight and drag low enough to tow with a standard Pawnee tow-plane?
Would a motor-glider be better?
Would electric power attract more "green" tourists?
Any suggestions for a business model?
