  • Sleek fuselage, every detail designed for the maximum performance. That's the JS3 Rapture. A wonderful sailplane and I had the honor to fly Attie Jonkers special edition JS3 X.

Und ist das Jemand aus der alten Junkers JU Dynastie , ein Enkel oder gar Urenkel ? Oder heisst der nur Zufälligerweise auch Junkers ? Und jetzt noch eine Frage , ich bin 200cm gross und 133Kg schwer ! Gibt es Doppelsitzer wo ich noch mit fliegen könnte ? Oder wird das, mein Traum bleiben !?!?!?

  • @paqx3534
    @paqx3534 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Asking the glider community - is it better to have low or high wing loading for gliders? My gut instinct is that low wing loading / floaty feel would be lower drag from a lower Vinf, but my mind also makes a case for higher wing loading being a more instantaneous transition for the flow, which is generally more efficient. Thoughts on this?

    That adjustable support behind the seat back (at 6:37) would do serious spine damage in an accident. I'm sure that won't be acceptable in the production version.

      Versicherungen haben generell sehr stark angezogen in den letzten 1-2 Jahren. Bei der JS1 kann ich mir nur vorstellen, dass es Probleme wegen der Süd Afrikanischen Zulassung gab, weil die ersten JS1en noch keine EASA Zulassung hatten?

    If these aerodynamics are so good why are light powered aircraft not using the aero dynamics for better powered flight.Could someone please elaborate!

    • @justcarcrazy
      @justcarcrazy ปีที่แล้ว

      Because certification takes too long and costs too much for a ground-up development of powered aircraft. Sailplanes get away with a lot less because they are not passenger aircraft - yes, even the two-seaters have a crew of two but no passengers.

    • @michelcote
      @michelcote 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's less confortable, you really feel the air turbulences. Long thin wings are more costly.
      Ground handling require more space. Those wings are heavier too for the same aera. Because they become thin.
      It's all compromises.

      This is a very unpleasant post. I assume this person is talking about issues with the JS1 on aerotow with the extended wing tips and full up with water ballast which is very tricky if allowed to get slow. The JS3 here has absolutely nothing to do with JS1 incidents.

    It will be interesting to see how the JS3 will stack up against the newer AS33 and the Diana 4 in the coming years - hopefully SH has a Ventus 4 with a decent sized cockpit in the pipeline, now the 3 is yesterdays glider and can only accommodate stick insects or jockey's in the racing version.
