| Histoire résumée | Taux de chute mini : 1 m/s ; taux de montée : 400 pieds/minute Air Training Corps cadets used to use the two-seat T.21 Sedburgh and T.31 Tandem Tutor for the limited training they received, however, there was a move to equip them with motor gliders and Vickers-Slingsby developed the T.61E especifically for this purpose as their first motor-glider. The T.61 was a German design originally built by Scheibe as the successful SF-25B Falke powered by a Rollason-Volkswagen 1,600 cc 35.8kw (48 hp) engine. It was built under licence by Slingsby from 1970, and a total of 35 were completed. The T.6lE is an improved version featuring a glassfibre main spar encased in plywood which simultaneously reduced the empty weight and increased the maximum take-off weight. Many other glassfibre components were used in the aircraft, including a new seat designed to improve comfort and to reduce the hazard of loose articles slipping under the seat into the control area. | ||||||
