The SGS 2-33, indicating Schweizer Glider, Sailplane, 2 Seats, Model 33, was designed by Ernest Schweizer. The aircraft was a derivative of the 2-22, which in turn was based on the SGU 1-7 single place glider of 1937. The 2-33 retained the 2-22 and 1-7's metal wing, single spar and single strut arrangement. [1] [2] [5]
The template is intended for conversion of heights specified in either metres or in feet and inches. Template parameters Parameter Description Type Status Metres m metre metres meter meters The height in metres. Do not use if feet and inches are specified. Number optional Centimetres cm centimetre centimetres centimeter centimeters The height in centimetres. Do not use if feet and inches are ...
Aerial retrieve may be possible but if not, specialized trailer needed to retrieve by road. Some sailplanes have engines that remove the need for an out-landing, if successfully started on time Learning simplest and quickest to learn teaching is done in single and two-seat hang gliders teaching is done in a two-seat glider with dual controls
By default, the template will round the result of any measurement unit conversions. The default precision is such that the converted (output) value has approximately the same number of significant figures as the unconverted (input) value. To override the significant figures, use |measurement sigfig= where measurement is the measurement being ...
By the time the 1-34 had flown in 1969 the Standard Class rules had changed to allow essentially unrestricted sailplanes with a 15-metre (49.2 feet) wingspan. [3] The SGS 1-34 is of all metal aluminum semi-monocoque construction. All surfaces are aluminum covered, with the exception of the rudder which is covered in aircraft fabric. [1]
The Discus was the first production sailplane to have a distinctive swept-back leading edge. This is now common in contemporary sailplanes. Studies had long shown that the ideal wing for minimizing induced drag should be an elliptic planform. To keep production costs down, a triple-trapezoidal approximation of this shape was adopted for the Discus.
The Eta is an example of a trend in glider development in which private pilots initiate the development of new open class gliders. The private development of the Concordia sailplane promises a further elevation of the max lift-to-drag ratio to slightly over 75 at 137 km/h (85 mph; 74 kn). [2]
