The DLR-Lange H3 project is officially announced, details he
http://www.lange-aviation.com/htm/en...news/news.html

The 23-meter wing molds will also be used for
the new 23-meter Antares and Schemmp-Hirth open
class machines.

The H3 max takeoff weight: 1.25 metric tons (2756 lb),
provides interesting wing-loading. Axel Lange reports
that H2 thermals well at 825 kg (1819 lb, a mere
13.1 lb/ft2 wing-loading).

Further detail to follow on Lange and SH web sites,
first orders have been accepted for both machines ;-)

See ya, Dave "YO electric"
