Original Abstract

A material, called the Paraglass, has been used for the design of the ultralight composite glider, as a substitute for foam at sandwich structure. The material is used as middle lay of all coverings, which are the skin of wing, the fuselage and the tailplane. The advantage of this material is very simple and cheap technology of the structure production. The disadvantage is its weight and density. Before putting into production of aircraft, basic material tests were done to determinate tensile strength and shear behaviour. The test results confirmed behaviour like isotropic panel. On the basis of results of initial tests and analyses, the lamination of the wing skin and fuselage was designed. Both wing and fuselage were tested and they provided the ability to carry ultimate loads.
