The great revolution in sailplane design and Hertfordshire construction was to come about in the 1960s with the April 1978 marriage of special laminar-flow wing sections to glassfibre as a building material. Glassfibre confers great structural strength for relatively low weight and has the added Introduction to new edition advantage of being extremely smooth, essential where drag has to be kept to a minimum. It is also quite easy to work, and Jane's World Sailplanes and Motor Gliders, first published in several amateur-built sailplanes use glassfibre as the prime 1978, has been substantially revised and updated to produce material. Thus, by the end of that decade, sailplanes had this edition. Seventeen new aircraft are included, drawings evolved into sleek, comfortable machines, often of great have been amended to take account of modifications to beauty, capable of phenomenal performance, yet with existing types, and there are many new photographs. handling characteristics that made them as safe to fly for relatively inexperienced sport pilots as for the most dedicated competition fliers. But sailplane design has not stood still and the last decade has witnessed some startling advances in the quest for better and better performance. The modern competition machine can incorporate an impressive array of performance aids, ranging from camber-changing flaps on the wing trailing edge, which can be drooped to provide extra drag for landing or cranked up marginally to reduce drag for high-speed cross-country flying between thermals, to water ballast tanks in the wings which increase the gross weight and aid penetration. The number of pilots completing flights of more than 1,000 km (620 ml) has increased dramatically; of the 33 FAI Diplomas awarded, twelve have been claimed since the Schneider ES 52 Kookaburra /Australia Edmund Schneider, who built the Grunau Baby in Germany with a nose wheel instead of a skid to ease ground handling. and was one of the pioneer sailplane manufacturers, was The cockpit has been enlarged and a wheel-brake is invited by the Gliding Federation of Australia to set up a incorporated. sailplane factory in Australia after the Second World War.

  • Free Flight Vol Libre
    3/02 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Priorities Air Cadets I would like to start this column by offering greetings to the cadets enrolled in the 2002 Air Cadet Gliding Scholarship Training Course who are receiving this issue of free flight. Free flight is published by the Soaring Association of Canada (SAC), a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the sport of soaring in Canada. Virtually all soaring in Canada, outside of the Air Cadets, takes place at SAC clubs. In a typical SAC club, more emphasis is placed on post-licence flying than on flight training and issuing licences. Most clubs have modern composite single seat sailplanes available for their members. Pilots are encouraged to soar, to fly cross-country and pursue FAI badges. There are a couple of programs that SAC offers to assist Air Cadets who are interested in flying with a SAC club. SAC sponsors a number of continuing flying scholarships through the Air Cadet League. SAC membership is free for any active cadet who joins a SAC club. Cadets interested in finding out more about SAC and soaring as it is practised at SAC clubs, can look at our website <http://www.sac.ca>. There you will find a list of clubs and their locations, back issues of free flight in electronic format that you can download, and other soaring-related pages. There is also some good information on <http://edmc.net/ soar/cadets/>. SAC members who wish to learn more about the Air Cadet League of Canada can visit their website at <http://www.aircadetleague.com>.

    ~GC 'News No SS SUIDIDer 1:985 President: C. Wills Hon. Secretary: R. Traves Hon. Treasurer: K. Crack Rally Secretary: G. Moore Sales Manager: P. Woodcock Archivist: Sally Shepard V.G.C. News No.55 SUMMER 1985 EDITORIAL The long winter gave way to a wet spring. Those of our gliders which were lucky enough to have had winter storage were brought out only to have their woodfs moisture content topped up by deluges of rain. In Britain, one thinks that if only we can get through to March, then the winter will have passed. But to have had to wait until mid May before anything resembling a soaring day should occur••• is a long wait indeed. The Spring was livened up for the President by him being invited to give an account of the "objects and state of the VGC" before the Conference International de Vol a Voile (C.I.V.V.) in Paris on the 21st March. In spite of being fully aware that he was in the presence of such great pilots as Hans Nietlispach, Edward Makula, etc., etc., who had flown our vintage gliders rather further and better than some of us are ever likely to fly them, C. Wills, being finally invited by Bill Ivans, the President, to speak, was able to give an account which appeared to be received like a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, the VGC's International events could not be accepted by the FAI for inclusion in their annual calendars, as the VGC is not one of their members. However, it has now become clear that our International events and their locations can be submitted to them for inclusion in their calendars, providing they are sent in by National Aero Clubs, in whose countries our events are to be held, which are members of the FAI.

  • The Lilienthal Gliding Medal
    The Lilienthal Gliding Medal To reward a particularly remarkable performance in gliding, or eminent services to the sport of gliding over a long period of time, the FAI created this medal in 1938. It may be awarded annually to a glider pilot who has : - established an international record during the past year ; or made a pioneer flight (defined as a flight which has opened new possibilities for gliding and/or gliding techniques) ; or rendered eminent service to the sport of gliding over a significant period of time, and is still an active glider pilot.
