Kasperwing 1-80 |
|
Single-seat, single-engine, high-wing monoplane with hybrid
control. Wing has swept back leading and trailing edges,
and constant chord; no tail. Pitch control by weight-shift;
yaw/roll control by tip rudders; control inputs through
tiller for yaw. Wing braced from above by kingpost and
cables, from below by cables; wing profile by W. Kasper;
single-surface.
Undercarriage has
three wheels in tricycle formation; no suspension on any
wheels. Push-right to-left nosewheel steering independent
from yaw control. No brakes. Aluminium-tube framework with
optional pod. Engine mounted below wing driving pusher
propeller. Dacron used for covering wing and underside of
mid-chord spar.
The Kasperwing
1-80 was designed by W. Kasper in collaboration with
Steve Grossruck and the prototype constructed in 1976. The
Kasper effect allows the 1-80 to make vertical approach to
landing while remaining stable in all three axes during a
descent at 160ft/min. with a 154 lb. pilot.
It has a twin spar wing, each wing having six ribs folded
into a flattened 'S' shape to give a stable profile. The
Kasper can be summarized as twin rudders carried on tripod
struts at the extremity of each wing in such a way that the
rudders are also used as vortex generators and as air
brakes.
