The Dart Totternhoe was a single seat secondary training glider produced in the United Kingdom in the 1930s. Three were built, one serving in the RAF. ==Design and development== The Totternhoe took its name from a Bedfordshire village; the home of the London Gliding Club is within Totternhoe parish, on the edge of Dunstable Downs. It was a wooden, single-seat secondary glider. All the flying surfaces of the Totternhoe were straight edged and fabric covered. The wings and tailplane, both mounted on top of the fuselage, were of constant chord and had blunt tips. No flaps or airbrakes were fitted. Two pairs of lift struts ran from the bottom of the fuselage to the wing spars just inboard of mid span. The near-rectangular rudder was hinged between the elevators, working in a cut-out.〔 The wooden fuselage was flat sided, with a blunt nose and open cockpit. Immediately behind the cockpit the upper fuselage was raised to carry the wing, tapering away to the tail. A single main skid and small tail skid formed the undercarriage.〔 The Totternhoe first flew in May 1936.〔 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「Dart Totternhoe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
