SCHEMPP-HIRTH FLUGZEUGBAU GmbH., KIRCHHEIM/TECK Duo Discus FLIGHT MANUAL 1.4 Descriptive data The “Duo Discus ” is a two-seat sailplane for advanced training and crosscountry flying, constructed from carbon and glass fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP/GFRP), featuring a T-tail (fixed horiz. stabilizer and elevator). Wing The wing is four-stage trapezoid in planform, consists of two main panels with tip extension with winglets (having a swept-back leading edge) and features double-panel „Schempp-Hirth“ type airbrakes on the upper surface and connected to a trailing edge flap. Ailerons are internally driven. The integral water ballast tanks haven a total capacity of approx. 198 Liters (52.3 US Gal., 43.5 IMP Gal.). The wing shells are a glass and carbon fiber/foam-sandwich construction with spar flanges of carbon fiber rovings and shear webs made as a GFRP/foamsandwich. Fuselage The cockpit is comfortable and features two seats in tandem. The one-piece canopy hinges sideways and opens to the right. For high energy absorption the cockpit region is constructed as an aramid/carbon fiber laminate, which is reinforced by steel tube transverse frame and a double skin on the sides with integrated canopy coaming frame and seat pan mounting flanges. The aft fuselage section is a pure carbon fiber (non-sandwich-) shell of high strength, stiffened by CFRP-sandwich bulkheads and webs. The main wheel is retractable with shock absorber struts and features a hydraulic disc brake; nose wheel and tail wheel (or skid) are fixed. Horizontal tailplane The horiz. tailplane consists of a fixed stabilizer with elevator. The stabilizer is a GFRP/foam-sandwich construction with CFRP-reinforcements, the elevator halves are a pure CFRP/GFRP shell. The spring trim is gradually adjustable by a lever resting against a threaded rod. Vertical tail Fin and rudder are constructed as a GFRP/foam-sandwich. On request a water ballast trim tank with a capacity of 11 Liter (2.9 US Gal., 2.4 IMP Gal.) is provided in the fin. Controls All controls are automatically hooked up when the sailplane is rigged.
