Comment:
The ASW-17 was the second of Gerhard Waibelﾒs
Open Class designs, superseding the ASW-12.
Aluminum double segment airbrakes make for much
easier approach and landing. The four-piece wing,
only 4.5 inches deep at the root, has provision
for up to 100 kg./ 220 lb. Of water ballast and a
four-setting flap/ aileron system in which the
ailerons droop with the flaps. An ASW-17 flown by
Hans Werner Grosse of Germany gained the World
record 1,000 km. Speed triangle at 145.33 kph/
78.5 kt/ 90 mph and the 1,250 speed triangle at
133.24 kph/ 71.9 kt/ 82.8 mph in 1980, both in an
ASW-17. ATC |
