In some countries the low tow position is used more routinely for towing because it protects the tow pilot from a glider pulling the tow plane’s tail up and forcing the tow plane into the ground.) Once the glider has reached the low tow position, and the tow plane continues to climb a...
An ornithopter is a machine designed to achieve flight by flapping its wings. The term “ornithopter” is derived from the Greek words “orthos,” meaning bird, and “pteron,” meaning wing. Leonardo’s design featured large, flapping wings and a pilot lying at the machine’s center. This ...
I have flown radio controlled airplanes and gliders for over 53 years. MicroBirds could possibly be the best micro sized sailplanes gliders and airplane that I have ever flown. with their ultralight signature designs, theyfloats forever. It is acrobatic, graceful and love the easy building video...
I have always loved chuck gliders, and I wanted to share a simple design that I enjoy with the community. It was inspired by the very well known Cessna 172, with several modifications to keep the build very easy. It flies nice,if you use two quarters as nose weight you can throw it ...

Wouldn't be a bad idea to go back and re-design some of my previous designs on CAD; because at least then I could get some accurate cut files. Seems like no matter how carefully I try to pencil-draw a set of plans, checking measurements and re-checking, something always gets lost in...
Additionally, DLG gliders feature a high aspect ratio wing design, which provides excellent lift and glide performance, allowing them to stay aloft for extended periods with minimal effort. One of the key features of DLG gliders is their launch mechanism, which typically consists of a peg or ...
In conclusion, it could not be ruled out that the JNA had overzealous and ambitious plans to test the concept of using a swift aircraft to deliver this weapon. In reality, Yugoslavia simply lacked any means to actually produce such weapons. Despite this, testing this unusual wing design, ...
Most military gliders do not soar, although there were attempts to build military sailplanes as well, such as the DFS 228. 【参考译文】军用滑翔机(普通滑翔机的一个分支)已被各国军方用于将部队(滑翔机步兵)和重型装备运送到战区,主要在第二次世界大战期间。这些无动力飞行器由军用运输机(如C-47“...
In short, the rocket takes off, goesreally, reallyhigh, and then the wings fold out and the craft glides gently back to Earth. These are the exact same Estes A8-3 engines you would use on any other type of model rocket but the end result is much more impressive!
