Ultralight sailplane AL-12
 

Currently among the proponents of soaring flight there is more and more discussion of the idea of a sailplane that could have some of the positive features of hang gliders and rigid wing gliders.

The possibility of soaring flight while using narrow thermals and "microlift", to takeoff from hang gliding sites, and to have the simplicity of quick rigging and ease of transportation as well as low cost of the aircraft is something that many soaring pilots have stated a desire for.

At the same time it is desirable for this aircraft to have great aerodynamic performance - especially with it's glide ratio, wonderful controllability, good stall and spin characteristics, as well as provide for a higher comfort during flight, which should enable longer soaring flights without tiring as quickly.

The NEW sailplane offered by Aeros is produced according to a classical diagram. The glider takes off by way of air towing or winch towing. The sailplane's design allows mounting the retractable launcher for autonomous takeoff and climb. A comfortable cockpit is equipped with adjustable pedals and seat back that can be adjusted to the pilot's height up to 195 cm. There is a space for a backpack parachute. The sailplane can come complete with an optional rescue system.

For transportation purposes all control and stabilizing surfaces are removed, the cabin is detached, the wing with the tail beam is put into a package 0,2 0,58 5,7 m. The 0,6 0,86 3 m cockpit can be transported either as a whole assembly or in parts (cockpit, fuselage spine fairing, cockpit enclosure). For rigging the sailplane you will need around 40 minutes.
