On this animated picture you will see an RC electric powered competition motorglider, projected for high speeds (>60 m/s) There are several constraints in the project to accomplish several rules and tasks. The Flying Wing - Blended Body configuration was selected in order to minimise high speed drag, even being capable to room the bulky batteries, speed regulator and electric motor. Special low-pitching moment airfoils were developed in order to avoid wing warps, hence the spanload distribution is optimised for extreme speeds, ranging from 12 m/s during glide task to >60 m/s on speed task.
