Design and development [ edit ]
The PW-2 was designed as a lightweight glider of modest performance with an open cockpit. The aircraft was intended to be produced as both a completed aircraft and as a kit for amateur construction .[2]
The aircraft is made from composite material , with its control surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric covering . Its 11.0 m (36.1 ft ) span wing employs an American -designed NACA 4415 airfoil . The maximum glide ratio is 16:1 at 69 km/h (43 mph)[2] [7]
Operational history [ edit ]
In August 2011 five PW-2Ds were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration . All were in the Experimental - Exhibition/Racing category and all produced in 1992 or 1993.[3]
