Hang
Glider Rear
Leading Edges
Carbon
fibre rear leading edges were developed for the
Moyes 'Litespeed S' glider to
reduce the amount of wing inertia. This allowed
for a substantial improvement in the
handling characteristics of the glider.
Tubular
rear leading edges are produced using the same
materials and methods as those used to produce
the carbon cross bars.
We were
able to produce a laminate schedule that allowed
for an approximately 50% weight
saving in the rear leading edges whilst
retaining very similar bend characteristics.
