Gliders from the second batch were still being offered for sale for £800 as late as 1957 in order to clear the stock, despite being below cost price. After building three marks of the Olympia, another improved version, called the EoN Olympia 4 was produced in 1954.
An engine was installed by John Moody in 1975 so the glider could be launched from flat terrain. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] Early powered versions consisted simply of a motor added to the foot-launched hang glider version with control by a combination of weight shift for pitch and tip rudders for roll and yaw, with the tip rudders used together as air brakes .
The Condor was designed as a flight training glider specifically to introduce new pilots to hang gliding. As such it has a very large wing area, low wing loading, a stall speed of 13 mph (21 km/h) and it is intended for use only under very light wind conditions. It was specifically intended for sale only to professional hang gliding instructors ...
A glider or platform rocker is a type of rocking chair that moves as a swing seat, where the entire frame consists of a seat attached to the base by means of a double-rocker four-bar linkage. The non-parallel suspension arms of the linkage cause the chair to simulate a rocking-chair motion as it swings back and forth.
The academy used the older, very reliable TG-4 gliders (Schweizer SGS 2-33) until 2002, when it replaced them with the newer TG-10. [2] [failed verification] Until 2004, sailplane operations were conducted by the 94th Flying Training Squadron under the 34th Operations Group, a unit of the 34th Training Wing, United States Air Force Academy.
The Slingsby Dart was the last of a long line of gliders and sailplanes built by Slingsby Sailplanes Ltd almost entirely from wood. From the Slingsby Skylark 2 of 1953 onwards, the company had used Gaboon ply, thicker but less dense than the traditional birch [1] for surfacing wings and fuselage, as it gave a smoother surface capable of maintaining the more demanding profiles of the newer ...
The Slingsby Skylark 4 is the final development of the Skylark series of gliders and was first manufactured in 1961 using an 18.2m span wing similar to that of the Skylark 3. About 30 Skylark 4s are still flying today (2010). [ 1 ]
The design of the canopy and the instrument panel is practically the same as on other DG gliders. The control surfaces incorporate flaperons which serve as both flaps and ailerons. The wing has a newly designed thinner airfoil and higher aspect ratio than previous types of DG gliders. This gives a higher performance but at a cost of worse slow ...
