About this book

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19930094854: The 1929 Rhon soaring-flight contest

Author: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

Year: 1930

The limitation of the 1929 contest to performance gliders necessitated the establishment of a formula which would make it possible to distinguish between performance gliders and school and training gliders. The sinking speed was therefore adopted as the basis for such a distinction, and the requirement was made that the sinking speed of a performance glider should not exceed 0.8 m/s. The rest of the report details the different entries with regard to design and performance.
