"The Tempest is an ultralight sailplane designed and built to take advantage of modern technology and materials. The technology used in the construction of hang gliders in the form of wire-braced aluminum tubing with dacron wing surfaces has been borrowed and extended to produce the Tempest.
The unique features of the Tempest are that the airframe and airfoil structures are constructed of tubular aluminum in a unique construction. The wings are strut-braced and internally wire-braced. The wing surfaces are and control surfaces are covered with stabilised Dacron constructed precisely to be slipped on to the corresponding airframe. This design makes inspection and repairs simple and lesss expensive. The Tempest owes its lightness and strength to this design. |
