www.ultralightflyer.com - Kasperwing flying wing, Kasperwing weight shift ultralight aircraft, Witold Kasper. The Ultralight Flyer talks to owner, builder and pilot of a Kasperwing flying wing, weight shift ultralight aircraft.
The Kasperwing is a 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.
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.
