Comment:
The Rhonbussard, which first flew in 1933, was
an intermediate performance sailplane, coming in
performance between the Grunau Baby and the high
performance ships of the time, It lacks any
spoilers, airbrakes or flaps for approach
control. It has a skid landing gear, with
jettisonable dolly for takeoff. One feature,
which led to some notoriety, was the requirement
for the wings to be joined together at the roots
before being presented to the fuselage for
attachment. |
