Abstract

The next generation of motorgliders or motorglider-like aircraft will be able to be applied in a variety of missions which are carried out today by bigger motor aircraft. Combining the characteristics of sailplanes and motor aircraft at full scale, these aircraft will not be intended to replace helicopters and other, fixed wing aircraft completely, but can substitute them in a variety of missions offering low cost, low noise and low detection characteristics. ln the particular case of the S10-VC, further projects include an observation version for coastal surveillance of oil spill and fishery patrol, and for wildlife inspection in large territories.
