Hi fellows,
I am eagerly looking for a Janus C (20m) polar, including flap settings. Unfortunately the polar is not included in the Schempp Hirth documents. What I found is this Excel spreadsheet with various polar datae: [users.ox.ac.uk/~gliding/docs/Polar Comparison Chart.xls]. But it seems like a Janus B as its L/D is 38. I think the Janus C (20m) has been measured by Idaflieg in 1997 as indicated he [http://www.mrueb.de/jahresberichte/jb97/sotre.html] Maybe someone here has the data? It would be nice if some Janus-Pro's could help me out, also with comments on the following: From our personal experience we fly the following flap settings at unaccelerated straight flight [35kg/m² = 600kg, which is a double seated Janus CT]: 0°: -125km/h -4°: 125-150km/h -7°: 150- best glide speed: 110km/h at flaps 0° Janus must be a powerful glider in the right hands, but I am still working on the right style with this ship. |
