Original abstract

A new material, which is called the Paraglass, has been used for the development of the ultralight composite glider TST-10 Atlas, unlike usual technology of the sandwich construction. The glider TST-10 Atlas is the cantilever midwing momoplane [Fig.1] with the T tailplane. The take off engine is installed on the stow-away arm. The Paraglass is made by the Dutch company Parabeam in Helmond. The advantage of this material is very simple and cheap technology of the structure production. The material is used as middle lay of all coverings, that are skin of wing, fuselage and tailplane. The experiences of the Paraglass application on the skin of glider fuselage are specified at the following abstract.
