The Purcell Flightsail or Flight Dynamics Flightsail is an experimental towed glider by Thomas H. Purcell Jr. He sold plans in several publications for the tow-launched hung-mass controllable kite-glider. He flew first off water in late 1961 and then arranged things for off-land and landing on land. His efforts would find similarity echo later in early 1963 by the SkiPlane of Mike Burns.
