The Chase-Sisley C100-S is an American mid-wing, single seat FAI Open Class glider that was designed in the 1960s by Dr. Robert Chase.〔Said, Bob: ''1983 Sailplane Directory, Soaring Magazine'', page 39. Soaring Society of America November 1983. USPS 499-920〕 ==Design and development== The C100-S project was started by Chase in 1962, with prototype construction commenced near the end of 1963. The resulting aircraft was first flown in 1968.〔〔 The aircraft is built from a combination of wood, styrofoam, aluminium and fiberglass. The semi-tapered wing is built from wood and styrofoam, covered with stress-bearing fiberglass. The wing is tapered outboard of the mid-span point. The wing spar is built up from 14 layers of fiberglass and epoxy resin at the root and is a box-style spar that occupies 40% of the wing chord. The wing is constructed in three pieces, a center-section and wing tips and features Schempp-Hirth dive brakes. The wing is 15% thick and employs a NACA 64(3)-615 laminar flow airfoil.〔〔 The fuselage is built from aluminium and features stressed skin construction. The landing gear is a fixed monowheel. The pilot's seating position is semi-reclined. In addition to the dive brakes the pilot has a tail-mounted drag chute available.〔〔 Only one C100-S was ever built and it is registered in the ''experimental amateur-built'' category.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chase-Sisley C100-S」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
