The
definitive prototype of the Alisport Silent glider first flew in
late 1994. This glider is currently sold ready-to-fly or
kit-built either as a pure glider or self-launched. The
self-launched version is powered by either a gas or electric engine
that stows back in the fuselage when not in use.
The first test flights of a jet-powered Silent
were made in late 2003.
The Alisport Silent holds several distance
records. |
