    New line-up Supra EL Competition

    We suggest you use the new line-up equipment in the electric version of the fuselage Supra EL. This line-up provides the most good controllability - a desired landing. The accuracy achieved by reduction of the inertia of the tail model by the forward position servos.

    With this line-up battery is mounted on an adjustable bracket. This will allow you to choose the alignment. In addition, at the same bar you can attach a special ballast.


    Supra EL fuselage 11

    It is possible to install servos in the tail fin. This arrangement makes the model more versatile. Since the servos are located in the rudder, there is more space in the forward fuselage to install a more powerful electrical components. Such a model can be used not only to compete but also for hobby flying.


    New line-up Supra EL Pro Competition

    Servos in the nose in Supra PRO Competition EL 1

    Feature of this fuselage is that its shape is as close as possible to the forms of glider fuselage, which ensures high aerodynamic performance and accuracy landing. This version of the fuselage has a light weight, combined with a front servo, which increases the sensitivity of the model to weak thermals *.

    Supra PRO Competition EL fuselage 

    In the line-up Supra EL Pro Competition is also possible to install servos in the tail fin.

    *For realization such arrangement you will need a battery with a cross section no more than 18х31mm (Thunder Power 1300 mAh 3S 45C) or 22х30 (Thunder Power 850 mAh 3S 65C), as well as the motor with a weight not exceeding 105 grams.

    Supra wing test 1

    Supra wing test

    Following numerous design studies, in the Spring of 2009, we introduced optimized wing spars for Supra PRO family, which increased wing stiffness while reducing weight.  New wing spars are baked in an autoclave in special molds from CF pre-preg. We use high strength carbon fiber IMS 65.

    Vladimir’s Model’s space age design employing Rohacel core for the flaps results in unbelievably light and incredibly strong thin wings. Combination of the right stiffness and weight eliminates aileron flatter even at extreme speeds.

    Supra Spread and Supra Hard Spread are built with bi-axial Spread Tow carbon we make in-house from high strength carbon fiber IMS 65. The weight of the finished CF composite is only 38…40 g/m², which results in lighter and stronger parts.

    Supra Spread is ideal for morning flying—it has the lowest weight and sufficient stiffness for fast starts.

    We manufacture two types of the wing spars for Supra central wing section:

    Wing spars of Supra Hard Spread, Supra Glass and Supra Carbon-glass have 13 mm wide flanges

    Wing spars of Supra Spread and Supra Glass Light Electric have 10.5 mm wide flanges

    Supra лонжероны

    1 -  the spar is enveloped  in thin Kevlar fabric for improved durability;

    2, 6 – the upper and the lower flanges are hot molded in an autoclave from carbon pre-preg IMS 65;

    3 – the webbing is made from unidirectional carbon, which increases its strength against bending; induced buckling;

    4 – carbon tubing of ±45° layup improves the torsional stiffness of the spar;

    5 – the core is made from high strength foam.

    Fuselage

    The new fuselage of Supra PRO satisfies a number of contradictory requirements:

    1) The glider does not slide after landing but stops as soon as the nose touches the ground. The shape of the pod tip satisfies F3J requirements;

    2) The fuselage has minimal aerodynamic drag, thanks to the wing raised on a pylon and streamlined pod outline with CFD optimized cross-sections;

    3) The shape of the fuselage also ensures increased stiffness and strength, required for violent landings.

    Fuselage 2

    The fuselage of Supra PRO is optimized for the ease of the radio equipment installation and maintenance. The servos are installed on a removable tray, which permits easy access to the receiver and the battery.

    Tail boom structure

    Tail boom

    The tail boom is made of two layers of Spread Tow carbon laid up at ±45 degrees. Between the two Spread Tow layers, there is a longitudinal layer of the unidirectional carbon.  This design resulted in extremely stiff and light boom—the weight of the tail boom without pushrods is only 41 gram.

    Supra is shipped with finished fuselage pod, you only need to glue the nose and the tail boom together

    Supra Pro competition tail

    Supra Competition stabilizer

    The main advantage of the new built-up stabilizer of Supra Competition is the improved landing accuracy.

    We achieved that by reducing the plane inertia:

    - The 7 gram reduction of the stabilizer weight resulted in 15 gram reduction of the nose ballast.

    - The horizontal stabilizer area is increased by 7%.

    - The vertical stabilizer is also 10 gram lighter, which allowed us to remove another 23 grams from the nose.

    - The stiffnes and sthrength of the stabilizer is increased due to the use of D-box from high strength IMS 65 carbon fabric.

    -The airfoil is extremely accurate for built-up structures, thanks to comprehensive CAD/CAM design and manufacturing procedures

     

    Supra Pro Competition horizontal stabilizer


    Our new CAD/CAM design and manufacturing processes resulted in extremely accurate built-up  horizontal stabilizer, which has as low aerodynamic drag as the molded structure.

     

    Supra_pro_fixing_pin_russian

    Vertical stabilizer

    Supra has a detachable vertical stabilizer, which can be removed to facilitate transportation. The stabilizer is fixed on the tail boom with a carbon pin. It is recommended to secure the pin with a piece of scotch tape before flying.

    The rudder of Supra Competition is of ultra light built-up defing.

    The rudder of Supra PRO is of rearlier molded design with Rohaccell core and is a bit heavier.

    The weights can be compared in technical data table.

    Supra PRO Competition – модель исключительно для победы! Аэродинамика модели, разработанная Dr. Drela, объединяет высокую проницаемость со способностью зацепиться за самый слабый термик, используя суперэффективную механизацию крыла что делает Supra Pro Competition одной из самых конткурентных моделей в соревнованиях FAI класса F5J.

    На планере существенно упрощена точная посадка благодаря увеличенному и облегчённому оперению. Применение новых материалов существенно снизило массу стабилизатора и киля, что сильно уменьшило инерцию модели.

    Уникальные летные характеристики дополняются обтекаемым фюзеляжем, который мгновенно останавливает модель на отметке 100 очков.

    Постоянная работа над оптимизацией конструкции делает Supra Competition, с каждым днем все легче и прочнее. Наиболие передовые разработки нашли свое приминение в версии Supra Pro Competition Spread Electric.

    Supra PRO – это хороший планер для достижения серьёзных результатов. Проект Dr. Drela  Supra дополнен современным фюзеляжем для более точных посадок.

    Формованный стабилизатор оригинальной разработки Dr. Drela по прежнему находит своих сторонников.

    Комплект крыльевых штырей с тремя разными углами делает эту модель ещё более многогранной, позволяя получить дополнительные преимущество в разных погодных условиях и точнее настроить её под Ваш стиль полёта.
