The Hall Ibex is an experimental , American, gull winged , single seat glider that was designed by Stan Hall and first flown in 1968.[1] [2]
[ edit ]
The Ibex was designed by Hall to investigate the reduced wetted area of the pod and boom configuration, hands off spiral stability of a gull wing, and the low speed performance of wide NACA slotted flaps . It also features a V tail , 135 lb (61 kg ) of water ballast and a 15 m (49.2 ft ) wingspan to comply with FAI Standard Class rules.[3] [4] ruddervator counterweights from the tips to the roots which eliminated the problem.[5]
Operational history
[ edit ]
The Ibex was still flying in 1980 and was eventually donated to the National Soaring Museum .[6]
