The Super Floater is an ultralight sailplane that is designed for fun flying, rather than competition, and as such it has a glide ratio of just 15:1. It is very similar to the primary gliders of the 1930s in concept, performance and appearance.
Gliders, motor gliders, ultralight aircraft US Aviation (Full name: Ultralight Soaring Aviation LLC ) was an American aircraft manufacturer, started by Klaus Hill and Larry Hall in the 1970s initially to build their Super Floater ultralight glider design.
This is a list of gliders/sailplanes of the world, (this reference lists all gliders with references, where available) [1] Note: Any aircraft can glide for a short time, but gliders are designed to glide for longer.
Like the Bug it is intended to be an inexpensive and easy-to-fly three-axis-controlled aircraft similar to a primary glider, although the designer terms it an airchair. The Goat has an empty weight of under 155 lb (70 kg) and so qualifies to be flown under the United States FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles regulations and does not require ...
The SunFun started as a foot-launched glider design, the VJ-24, and was developed into a wheeled undercarriage motor glider, the VJ-24W. The VJ-24 was derived from the earlier Volmer VJ-23 Swingwing and differed from that design by replacing the wooden structure with metal and employing a constant chord, strut-braced wing in place of the VJ-23's cantilever, tapered wing.
B-8HD Super Gyro-Copter - development of Super Bug first flown in 1979 with hydraulic drive to pre-rotate rotor rather than separate engine B-8V - B-8 powered by a Volkswagen air-cooled engine B-8W Hydro-Glider - float-equipped B-8 intended to be towed behind a boat [ 4 ]
The "A" model was described in the plans sold and retained the twin tip rudders of the EPB-1, although some were built with a single fin and rudder assembly attached to the cockpit rear. At least one two-place side-by-side seating version was built in Australia, and another as a motor glider. The standard wingspan is 25 ft (7.6 m), but versions ...
ANB-M Initial version, first flown 1 May 1983, single seat primary glider with an 8.75 meter wingspan. ANB-I Developed as a double ANB-M model that was a two place glider that had the occupants separated in parallel by 2.2 meters apart and utilized an 11 meter wingspan with a twin boom tail.
