Abstract

Today's sailplane is truly a highly refined engineering and manufacturing accomplishment. The use of conposite non-metallic materials has been advanced considerably probably matched only in other aerospace applications with the developnent of helicopter rotor blades and spacecraft assenblies. There is still room for considerable improvement in design and fabrication of sailplanes with composite materials
