Optimal flight characteristic for motor gliders thanks to gas springs
DICTATOR gas springs retract the folding propeller as soon as the glider plane goes into gliding flight
The company Technoflug Leichtflugzeugbau is specialized in developing and producing components made of fibre composites. “As a company approved for the development, production and maintenance of aircrafts and propellers, right from the start we focused on the highest demands regarding quality and lightweight construction.“
One of the areas where company Technoflug is active is the development and production of propellers for motor gliders. The foldable propeller of company Technoflug is folded forward by means of two DICTATOR gas springs as soon as the pilot turns off the motor. The prerequisite for this application of the DICTATOR gas springs is their absolutely reliable functioning. Of course, DICTATOR also assists in designing the gas springs to make sure that they are perfectly calculated for each application to provide the highest possible performance with the smallest possible dimensions.
