honeycomb glider

AERO Friedrichshafen 2024, Halle A1-103

Thanks to all visitors for constructive critism and recognition. I look forward optimistically. See you on AERO 2025 with a new project. The next plane, CNC-made, almost the same, will weigh much less.

Self-built prototype sailplane with honeycombs of recycled paper and GfK

wing structure, wing is completely filled with honeycomb core, sandwich

klick for playing

Made by resin infusion – out of autoclave

no molds, no spar

Different wings can be replaced before flight, depending on weather conditions.

prone position has better streamlining, but prone position restricts the view upwards. The pilot is bedded in such a way, that he can easily turn to the side.
