Now, I have never seen a bi-wing glider, but was thinking, could a bi-wing glider of, say 15m wingspan, effectively have 30m performace? This is probably a stupid uneducated question, and I would imagine that it hasnt been done because it wouldnt work! But its certainly something I am interested in. Think of it...a bi-wing ETA giving a total of 60m performance! JR Look up the "Easy Riser" I flew one years ago. Tailless biplane (hang) glider. positive stagger, weight shift pitch & tip rudder roll control. A classic to fly, but had no performance advantage. Ultimatly ended up being flown mostly as a powered ultralight. |
