      @@tmt-q6d Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. So, if the sailplane leaves the ramp some 10 m above the surface of the water, then it follows its average Lift-over-Drag ratio (L/D) is about 45.1. And that is pretty darn good for a sailplane. Makes this effort even more impressive. Congratulations and best wishes.

    Time to bust open Flugtag! Awesome achievement. Other than a tiny bit of weight displacement, it looks like the pilot had no control inputs. Very stable design! Cheers from Sydney - Dave

    • @TDOBrandano
      @TDOBrandano ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the pilot controls pitch by weight shifting, and maybe they have some rudder control via pedals. The wing curve will easily give you roll control with rudder only, but as long as the flight path is straight enough adding rudder control might just add complexity and drag. I also think that the wingspan is too large for the Flugtag rules, so the record there will require some other design approach.

    For some perspective - this is a video from 2021, with an amazing result. It was recently (2023) beaten at the same place with a similar shaped glider to a little over 500m. The platform height is 10m, that would imply these gliders have a staggering glide ratio of 1:50. The best commercial gliders max out at about 1:44. (this attempt's glide ratio is 1:45).

    Overall well done in pushing glide technology forward!!!

    • @delboy1727
      @delboy1727 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Actually the glide ratio of the best commercial glider is around 1:70, and that isn't taking account of ground effect, which obviously benefitted the effort shown in this video.

    • @quinncide
      @quinncide ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@delboy1727I was going to say, with such a wingspan that glider spent *most* of the flight in ground effect. It would take a lot more calculating to determine its glide ratio than simply distance divided by height. Still an interesting craft. I would love to see its true performance with a much higher launch and significantly longer out-of-ground effect flight.
