of the information for the construction on<br />
a 200 illustrated pages (French language<br />
actually only, sorry). For those interested<br />
see the website for more details. We measured<br />
its performance and I have to confess<br />
that this is quite a satisfaction to obtain<br />
a plane that corresponds exactly to the<br />
calculation. I wanted it, I obtained it, and<br />
I love it. This plane is the best plane I<br />
have ever piloted. (I have constructed<br />
more than 100 planes.) (See Figure 10)<br />
Then came the F5J category and I<br />
restart from scratch my studies taking<br />
into account new considerations such<br />
as minimum weight for a defined aspect<br />
ratio and G load, minimum circling<br />
diameter...<br />
This conducts me to the GENOMA².<br />
It is similar to the Genoma, but quite<br />
different for some aspects:<br />
• Less aspect ratio to reach the 20g/dm²<br />
wing load,<br />
• higher camber for the profiles for lower<br />
minimum speed,<br />
• lower minimum wing load,<br />
• more span (4m) to be at the maximum<br />
of the F5J regulation,<br />
• a new series of profiles taking<br />
information from the Pike perfect, the<br />
Supra, the AVA...<br />
Figure 10: The GENOMA as defined in 2010. It flies like a F3K plane with a 3.65 m span.<br />
