#Ventus3 #gliding #sgp - Наука та технологія
Self launching gliders might be the greatest invention ever!
100 % concur. Mankind's finest machine. Greatest respect to those men who design, build, and fly gliders.
You have the British to thank for that............
@@soaruk3697 If true, perhaps it makes up for all the colonization. 🙂
Yes its true - look up Carden-Baynes Auxiliary and you think colonization was a bad idea? Oh dear these backward ex colonials........
@@soaruk3697 I looked up Carden-Baynes Auxiliary. Very cool. 9hp is all ya need!
One of the most beautiful gliders I have ever seen...the whole design - Registration/Callsign design/Interieur - all very elegant and sporty!
I love it!
Even the nice touch with the E of V(e)ntus in different color. Something I noticed after watching the video several times when editing :D
Awesome first look, thanks Stefan! Yeah I'd like the bigger model too, with a bit more storage space. Here in NZ racing is much more about where you point the glider, rather than every bit of performance. So I'd much prefer the bigger model both me and my lunch can fit in... and I'd also love to do some touring in it.
plus most manly glider pilots can't fit properly in the a model fuselage........... which is really the 'girly glider' model as Klaus originally designed it for Bridgette ......
Wow! amazing sailplanes these days, Love those ventus Wings. Im sure its a real performer
As a JS3 RES pilot, the motor looks very familiar 🙂 Good to see more users of the system!
Funny that you mention it. The just looks familiar. JS is using the small 208 motor but schempp is using the big 228 emrax for better cooling and noise, just like AS does in the Me System
Ten silnik pochdzi ze Słowenii a pierwszy raz zastosowano go w ASG32 więc nietrafiona aluzja😂
@@RBBLANES No the Ventus E will use an Emetric/Solo engine from Germany, same manufacturer, but slightly different model from JS3.
Interesting Ventus 3E glider review. Thank you, Stefan.
Electric self-launching glider is the dream! 💖
So true!
I like the fes system as well, but for an expensive competion glider this system is the better choise.
Cleanest dap up at 0:13
Haha, thank you!
A really high end glider, and I cant wait to see it fly. But also want to hear more about the lightweight Birdy e-glider !
From time to time I´m in contact with the Birdy manufacturer. Hope to have some time next year to visit the factory or make a flight
Laminar flow looks superb. German engineering at its finest!! But no flying video? What?
I'm puzzled. How can you see laminar flow around the glider on the ground, in an enclosed space?
Maybe you should listen to what the guy said, this is a prototype in developement, it will fly in february or march.
@@fifi23o5 You can see the design of the fuselage and wings which speaks volumes on laminar flow. Superb.
@@grabir01 Design and shape are one thing, flow is something else. How things behave in real world, can be something different.
But I do agree, they are nicelys haped, well, most of gliders are.
So nice
Fantastic!
Beautiful machine, never few a motor glider but lots of hours in the California desert, sadly looks like most of the places I flew are gone like Cal City, really miss it but after kids it just wasn't in the budget and flying isn't the same here in WA
Sieht schon echt geil aus
Warum wird denn eigentlich der Wasserballast (wenn vorhanden) nicht durch Batterien ersetzt? Längere Startstrecke und höhere Geschwindigkeit klar, aber würde das nicht Sinn machen?
@@tobiasreichelt888 Ich könnte mir als einen Grund vorstellen, dass man ja nicht mit soviel Gewicht landen soll, das Wasser ist ja eigentlich vor der Landung abzulassen. Allerdings hab ich schon genug Piloten das vergessen sehen und es war kein Problem, also vermutlich sinkt nur die Toleranz harter Landungen oder man müsste ein robusteres Fahrwerk verbauen?
@@blubb9004 Das ist natürlich ein Punkt, aber möglich ist es wohl
A beauty ❤
This is distinct, futuristic and serene self-launch glider/plane :)
독특하고 고요한 셀프런치 길더입니다 :)
Hallo Stefan! Is it stated in the video that a “sport” fuselage variant will go into production along with the standard? I think I heard this!! A big deal to me as an old Ventus Ca pilot.
I want it !!!❤
Dear Santa, I want one, please....

What is this wing made of? The spar is how manyThe spar is how many millimeters and and deck
Mal ne Frage: Gibt es einen Grund (außer Marketing), dass beim Ventus 3 die schmale oder breite Rumpfversion nicht a oder b heißen, wie es beim Discus oder Ventus 1 und 2 benannt wurde, sondern Sport und Performance?
Will there be a battery-charger on board? I‘d like to recharge the VE after landing on a airfield other than the home base.
I don’t think that will be permanently on board, at least Jonkers and Schleicher don‘t have it included. For the normal pilot it safes weight but I agree that it is necessary to be able to store a charger in the glider if you want to travel by glider 👍
This is the Solo system that Jonker's use in the JS3.
They modified it. Bigger prop and bigger emrax motor like AS is using
Is there a possibility for recuperation by keeping the prop out in the airflow?
No, therefor you would need to reverse the pitch of the prop. At the end it is still gliding as a sport and therefor the electric range is already enough.
With the motor, prop, mast and battery(ies), where does this position the CG? With regards to the CG on a LS3?
That's not a new problem. All self-launching gliders with combustion engine have the weight in a similar area. For the structure having the weight of the batteries in the wing would be better..
What's the watt of the elecric motor
I more like the FES glyders
Less mechanics and less space needed I would say.
Plus it looks more normal😅
FES is awesome for clubs and if you want to do some crazy low flying with a very quick opportunity to use the motor. For me the self-launching gliders are more interesting because at this price level you also want to have the freedom to start wherever and whenever you want.
Does a brand new glider have the brand new car smell Stefan 🙂
I didn´t sit in the glider, so it's hard to tell :D
Why u looks alike Maverick Vinales, the MotoGP rider🏍️🏁😅
How much?
Similar gliders cost above 300.000 € with all equipment and German VAT.
@@SteFly WOW !!! That's a lot !!
Why the crazy price new, the new diana 4 ES is 170 thousand euros plus tax.
Diana 4ER will eat it for breakfast.......... :-) SH really need to get a MK2 Arcus E into production ........ with the new Lange batteries and increased AUW should be easy enough........... as long as they can patch things up with Lange or develop their own system. They really f'd up not making their own inner wing and producing the Quintus................ lost loads of sale to Jonkers and Schleicher..... . Now a JS2 and 5 RES are coming......... What are you flying at Uvalde? JS3 or AS33? or are you being brave and flying the 29?
Diana 4 yes...haha...and ya Js2 was allready announct 2015/16 - 8 years later no one is flying...here on the Video you can see what you get - a beatyfull glider...and not only 3D-pics...
I don't think the electric system is already light and powerful enough for double seaters... The Ventus E is a great design and they benefit from the other designs and solved problems. The bigger electric motor of the AS33 with a bigger prop than JS3 for efficiency and better heat dissipation, batteries in the fuselage for better acceptance of the customers.
@u5yj Well you can't as so many thiins are yet to be decided with the V3 and is just a basic mockup at present. Maybe ask SH about EASA approvals of some of their past products - some are still waiting...... You are obviously living in ignorance as the JS2 is now in production ............... RES models of it and the JS5 are planned for the future. D4 is out of the moulds with engine installed and will be flying soon........ but I geuss it must be a little dark to see where your head is located.
@@SteFly The Arcus E flew many years ago with the old tech batteries and the Antares system. DG is making a RES version of the DG1001..........
still remember that story of the guy who burned alive when his batteries caught fire mid-air.. nothing you can do in such cases.. so sad that gliding is basically as deadly as motorcycling, while (unpowered) paragliding looks similar but is like 10x safer
(be wary of getting in an electric glider)
Nothing you can do? I might think of bailing out.
@larsfroelich Can you please provide a source? I only know of one case where the battery of the FES burned in a ventus on the ground. The batteries were then changed.
Do Not Feed The Troll.
@@elkcircle7245 parachutes arent fire-resistant, but yeah, if you react quickly maybe
Where do you get your statistics that paragliding is 10x safer? At least according to an analasys by Clemens Ceipek (chessintheair), Paragliding has one death per ~35,000 hours, while Gliding has one in ~50,000, making it quite a bit safer.
Fires on board are obviously scary, but that doesn't only apply to Electric Propulsion. Conventional engines obviously also have an inherent fire risk, and even unpowered gliders often carry lithium batteries for their avionics.
For a Midair fire, you probably have little choice but to bail out (assuming you aren't below a reasonably safe bail out altitude, but in that case you probably have a good chance to make it to the ground).
I think in many pilots, there is a big push to "fly it to the end" even in cases where there would be a safer alternative (see also the high rate of non-activation of ballistic recovery systems in aircraft equipped with those that had control issues / engine outs). The one case of in-flight fire with a fatality I could find sounds like such a case. Smoke / fumes caused loss of control, the aircraft exceeded VNE., it crashed.
